- They need my bank info, household info, proof of rent, proof of assets and proof of income. What is this?? George Orwell’s critically acclaimed novel 1984 in which citizens are under control of a political deep state that influences all thoughts and actions in hopes of preventing any uprising from those in poverty???

- Yoooooooo broooooo, I did it! I'm approved!! But where the cash at?????
- Shocker… maybe you need to have a conversation with your landlord and come to an agreement that can work for the both of you.

- Even laterererer
- What do you mean? You trying to skip out on paying rent again?
- Yooo big boss man, it's me, your number one tenant. Bad news, I have to pay you at the end of the month.

- My dad's mixtape is fire!
- Who are you talking to?
- I know we like to joke around here in this comic, but I am one of many struggling BC residents who need better access to affordable housing and the rental assistance program just barely helps people like me get by. It is a struggle day in and day out.
- The End.
