My friend seems to not care anymore, what should i do?

Question

Ok,

so me and my friend are making a comic book to present to publishers.

I came up with the idea. i originally wanted to do it by myself.

there is only one issue written so far. I wrote i'd say 85-90 percent of the first issue. granted the first issue was halfway written by myself. half way in, i asked if he wanted in, he said sure. he came up with a few pages. i wrote the rest. i wrote i'd say 15 of the 18 pages.

i want to pursue it. however, it has been over a week since any work was done, and he hasnt mentioned it since. he hasnt asked to see it at all.

how do i tell my friend he is not pulling his weight? should i give him an ultimatum? should i just totally cut him off? what should i do?

i just dont want it to get in the way of our friendship.

basically i want to tell him "p**s or get off the pot", but i want to say it politely, but stern and not come off as a push over.

Answer 1

You should let him know that if he wants to have equal credit, he should definitely take it more seriously. Otherwise tell him that he can opt out of it altogether, and you will finish it on your own. You won't come across as to stern or anything, since you've anyway done more than 3 thirds! He'll be happy that you let him know, since from what you said, he took it up pretty casually. Hope I helped. Cheers :)
