Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

More like you can work two jobs. But take less hours.
I'd say the percentage of income spent on food probably depends heavily on your income though. Plus for housing you'd probably need an extra room (unless you want to bunk with your clone), but that probably wouldn't add up to twice as much rent.
True but that kind of defeats the purpose of them being a clone.
There would definitely be a lot of stuff that would need to be doubled, e.g. I would definitely get into trouble with laundry if I tried to clothe two people with my one person wardrobe, and if my clone is an independent being they'll still want a PC and phone (it would be really complicated to set up some kind of timeshare system, especially if they're working a separate job - you could have one clone work in the morning and one in the evening, but not everyone is cut out for working late). Bunking would probably work, but that's going to get real weird if you're living in a flatshare or with a partner. And oh, sharing a partner would be a huge problem if we're assuming the clone is an independent being, even if they're actually a good sport about it in general.
Yeah see this is why you don't really want a clone, you want a half-lobotomized body copy that can complete tasks for you and understand reasonably complex instructions but doesn't have that pesky free will. Then you can just make them sleep in the closet or something.
