Fiction · Original comics. Every character and situation here is made up by Launchpad Digital and drawn by us; any resemblance to real people is coincidental. Clean, everyday humor. When we joke about politics, we joke about government in general (lines, forms, red tape), never about a real politician or party.

The Utilities Split

Starring: Jay, Mia Parker · 4 panels

  1. Mia sends Jay a payment request: "Utilities, $43.17."

  2. Jay: I don't even use utilities.

    Mia: You use lights. And Wi-Fi. And the shower for 40 minutes.

  3. Jay: Fine. I'll do homework in the dark, by phone light.

  4. Mia: Your phone charges on our electricity.

    Jay: ...Sending $43.17.

Takeaway: Agree on how bills get split before you move in, and put it in writing. It saves friendships.
