The Subprime Mortgage Collapse Explained Through Cartoons

If you're like me, you don't like reading long boring articles about the financial world, but you do like cartoons and are still searching for answers as to why all your stocks are firmly planted in the crapper. Have a look-see at the following presentation on Google Docs, which breaks down the mortgage crisis into simple dialog and pretty stick figure drawings. Because knowledge is power!

For the wordy folk out there [like my wife], the New York Times also has a nice article about our current situation and how we got there. Be warned though, the lack of cartoons or interesting pictures of any sort is difficult to digest.
