"THE HOWLER LEECHES ARE COMING!" | Angry Beavers | NickSplat

One of my favourite cartoon lines is, "The howler leeches are coming, send more money. I'll send more stuff."
Dag gets a toy that when he pulls the string it tells him to send money to be protected from disasters. Dag imagines these disasters are real and sends money out of fear. Norb pranks Dag by disguising as a howler leech. However after Dag spends all his money he finds out Norb was pranking him. But then the real howler leeches show up and no one gets hurt by them, they simply come to get a pet dog that was shipped to Dag to stop the howler leeches.
This is similar to how governments and corporations work. They create a fear of a false disaster or a desire for a false need and then trick you into working to grow their wealth. If the event they warned about actually happened however it would have caused less harm than obedience to them to prevent the disaster has. Sometimes they warn about a dangerous enemy who actually would have been perfectly friendly without government and corporate interference as in the howler leeches who never actually attacked Dag and Norbert.
