“You Don't Have to Be Rich to Be Happy.”

In the lush, cinematic backdrop of a high-budget film set, "You Don't Have to Be Rich to Be Happy" unfolds with quiet irony, spotlighting a lone director’s chair marked "Technical Advisor"—occupied by a figure from a bygone era of stag films, complete with mask, black socks, and garters. Written, drawn, and inked by Marty Murphy, the story blends meticulous detail with a wry, observational tone, all set against the backdrop of a scene that feels both staged and strangely intimate.
