The Cyber Mermaid is sad thinking about all the precious and sentimental things she sold in order to pay the interest on her bank credit cards ( before the default ). Her hair is lank and lack lustre as she is still without running hot water ( 2 cartoon blogs ago ).
This cartoon also has in mind the people of Greece, many of whom have had to sell their family gold jewellery in order to survive in a financial crisis that is not of their fault.
