# "Paid in Bull" - A 50-Year Retrospective This comic strip titled "PAID IN BULL" humorously tracks a man's relationship with a bull over fifty years (1875-1925). The sequence shows: **Top row**: The man confidently approaches a piano-playing bull in 1875, 1895, 1905, and 1925, suggesting repeated, foolish encounters with the same dangerous animal. **Middle and lower sections**: The narrative escalates through increasingly chaotic scenes—the bull chasing the man, children watching, carnival settings, airplanes, and modern transportation—documenting how the man keeps getting "paid" (attacked/gored) by the bull across changing technological eras. The satire mocks someone stubbornly repeating the same mistake despite decades of consequences, using the bull as a metaphor for a persistent problem or bad decision that follows him through life's modernization.
