Description

Here's a detailed description along with the text of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A woman with brown hair and wearing a red shirt asks, "Does it bother you that I'm the primary household breadwinner?"
• A man with glasses and brown hair, in a blue shirt, replies, "No. Does it bother you?"

Panel 2:

• The woman looks puzzled and asks, "Why would it bother me?"
• The man responds, "Economic theory says you pay an opportunity cost whenever you choose one possibility over another."

Panel 3:

• The woman smirks and says, "When the two of us have sex, we're each choosing sex over work."
• The man adds, "You make $100 per hour. I make $10 per hour."

Panel 4:

• The woman continues, "You are willing to pay $100 for an hour of sex with me. I am willing to pay $10 for an hour of sex with you."

Panel 5:

• The woman looks frustrated and states, "This wasn't the conversation I was hoping for."
• The man responds with a smirk, "Really? Because you're paying a lot for it."

The comic humorously addresses the dynamics of household roles and economic principles through a candid conversation between the characters.
