I know they are dinosaurs, but the fact that someone was drawing comics about checks in 2017 is just baffling.

I don’t recall seeing a check since the late 80s.

I work at a bank, I see thousands of checks a day. They're still out there.

Yep, checks are used a lot by charities and churches, plus migrant workers are often paid by checks, and there's market nearby that will cash all of their checks for them, and that market is a customer of my bank, so when they bring in their deposit, it's a stack of checks at least 6 inches tall every day. And that's honestly not even half of the checks we see a day.
