Title banner: TIPS FOR LIVING TOGETHER: THE FILTHIEST PLAYER WINS
A man with reddish hair in a yellow polo shirt stands beside a large wall chart, holding a pointer. A woman with dark hair and glasses faces him from the foreground.
Woman: Do the goddamn dishes!
Man: Sorry. Currently, we're above your dishes threshold but below mine. Note the chart.
Woman: How long did it take to make that?
Man: Six hours. Why?
The chart's vertical axis is labeled FILTH and the horizontal axis is labeled TIME. Two rising lines are plotted: an upper line labeled ME and a lower line labeled YOU.
Votey:
Close-up of the woman, looking unimpressed.
Man (off-panel): There! We've reached your threshold!
Woman: Eehhh, still not interested.

A webcomic titled "Tips for Living Together: The Filthiest Player Wins." A red-haired man in a yellow polo stands at a big wall chart with a pointer; a dark-haired woman with glasses confronts him. She says, "Do the goddamn dishes!" He replies, "Sorry. Currently, we're above your dishes threshold but below mine. Note the chart." She asks, "How long did it take to make that?" He says, "Six hours. Why?" The chart plots FILTH (vertical) against TIME (horizontal) with two rising lines, an upper one labeled ME and a lower one labeled YOU—implying he tolerates far more mess before he'll clean. Votey: a close-up of the unimpressed woman; the man (off-panel) announces, "There! We've reached your threshold!" and she flatly answers, "Eehhh, still not interested."
