This is the most recent single-panel comic I've done. I've been elected "work manager" of my co-op this spring, and I made a bunch of little comics like this to remind people to clean properly :)
Co-ops are run democratically. We have house meetings to elect positions like president, treasurer, work manager, maintenance managers, etc. We own our house. There is no landlord, because we are our own landlords. The co-ops in Ann Arbor are mostly composed of students, but you can be voted in if you're a non-student like me.
Part of my job as work manager is designating the rest of the people (that aren't elected) to cook, do room cleans, and special projects. I also have to keep on my toes to check on their work, but people have been REALLY good at their hours this spring!
The BEST part of living in a co-op by far is the social atmosphere. My house is a great community of all kinds of people, and we do fun things together all the time! Like hosting themed parties, trips to concerts, trips to the zoo, everything! Even just hanging out late at night and talking with people is awesome. I could go on forever, but I need to stop myself. Bye!
