In the southern states, people will actually steal your Air conditioners. Rip them right off the side of your house!
They also break down frequently due to having to run so long as maximum power, and the industry repairing them tends to stay permanently understaffed, so you may have to wait days or even weeks to get them fixed. Not cheaply done either, as the laws of supply and demand apply.
So basically, it’s possible to do everything right, including having money to spend on it, and still end up in a situation like we see here in the comic.
One more point on the list of reasons I would never consent to live there.
(Seriously. I had a mini-split heat pump installed last year. Game-changer! I never want to deal with window units again. It does heat in the winter too, and a lot cheaper than the electric baseboards they replaced.)
I discovered mini-splits in Japan and yeah they’re awesome. The per-room control and efficiency of window units, the quiet (or more so) of central air.
Oh I’m definitely looking forward to not bodging the old window shakers into my 30-some-year-old windows with their broken springs, rattly sash, and crumbling jamb liners. The mini-splits should be more efficient too, since the window units are only 11 SEER and the new system’s rated at least in the high 20s.
It cost used car money to buy and have installed, but it also solved numerous problems at once. (I have no oil or gas service, the electric baseboards smoked and cost a mint to run, and the bedrooms upstairs share a circuit that doesn’t have enough capacity to run two space heaters or window units at the same time.) It also carries a trn year warranty because the HVAC company I hired is certified by the manufacturer.
I can’t recommend ductless heat pumps highly enough if you’ve got a place without ductwork to retrofit.

Are they both naked, or just Walky?
Joyce is topless, at the very least.
She could be wearing a strapless bra.
They’d never make it through a Texas summer pre air conditioning.
Or a tube top (although I don’t think it’s her style).
PS I like your Ruby grav.
Maybe they should get a window air conditioning unit, since the fans clearly aren’t cutting it.

That… that is sweat, right?
I THOUGHT it was until you questioned it.
….
I can’t unsee it.
A cool shower and evaporative cooling are better than nothing, at least until the humidity gets high enough that you don’t air-dry.
Just remember to close the blinds first. The neighbors probably won’t appreciate your brilliant au naturel alternative to air conditioning.
They cannot live another day without air conditioning!

Yes, their friends know just how insatiable those two are.
Joyce’s face in Panel 1 is amazing.
