ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: ninja loans

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

Neutron Loans, Zombie Banks, What on Earth?

This is the first time I have heard the term "neutron Loan":

A neutron loan explodes, destroying the people but leaving the buildings intact. When I was a kid there was a lot of talk about atom and neutron bombs. I made a cartoon about an evil English school boy genius who created a bomb that destroyed buildings but left the people intact. Not as evil as neutron loans...or ninja loans wherein the borrower has no income, no assets and no job!!

Oh, and Zombie Banks are back according to Larry Elliott, financial analyst at Guardian Weekly
