A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

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
Is that how things work?
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
