Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!

Joke's on Dad. Even 2% annual inflation would make that present-day $100 worth about 80% of its original value ten years ago.

Assuming this takes place from 2015 to 2025, that $100 in 2025 would've been $73 in 2015.

More importantly, mum's only handing over $100 when she should be paying $200

She's gotta repay the $100 she received mistakenly, plus another $100 to cover the bet she lost.

Dad gave her $100. Mom giving him $100 is just a refund, she'd need to pay another $100 to actually pay out on the bet.

Oh, lol. I'm sick so my mind is apparently mush. XD
