Because Timulty is the best character.

Also because you're not nearly old enough to cash your own checks.

Because DCS wanted another crack at the Blue String strip.

Also because she's not wearing pants???

And Timulty's torso is naked! I should think he'd have a sweater on or something.

Where the hell are her pants?
I suppose this is "a piece of blue string," revisited. The original was better.
And Arlo wins the prize.

I want to know the backstory of how this paperclip became lucky.

Who gives money to an 8 year old? My Uncle Frank wouldn't pull bush league crap like that.

Theory: Ms. Mudd is mostly estranged from her family. When they send Millie gifts at all they send money because they honestly don't know much about her.

Eh, don't think it holds up. I received gifts from relatives I'd never met before around the time I was ten, visiting for the first time, and wound up getting a couple of dolls. Because all little girls like playing with dolls.

But for the purposes of this strip, Millie probably needed something that nobody would normally complain about to extol the beauty of the paperclip.

It was used in a trading sequence that got a person a house for free.

I was kind of lying. My Uncle Frank would probably just send out a check if my aunt wouldn't yell at him for that.

It doesn't look very red in the strip however...
