Split Screen is a now-completed romantic Webcomic created by Jaymzeecat, running from August 2012 to February 2014. The central characters are fashion designer Janet Secret Lumenski and slacker Jeremy Tanner. They haven't seen each other in a decade when a funeral pulls Jan back from Manhattan to their hometown. Upon seeing Jeremy, she realizes the feelings she had for Jeremy were still as strong as ever. Unfortunately, so were the issues and seriously mixed signals coming from Jeremy. The comic is mostly about the two of them trying to see how, or even if, they fit into each other's lives, while both deal with past hurts and mutual issues.Thanks to a successful Kickstarter, a print collection with a new 10-page epilogue is on the way.Split Screen provides examples of the following tropes | |

No Accounting for Taste | |
| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_12040009 | comment |
No Accounting for Taste: Jeremy's a fat loser with no prospects and a boatload of mental and emotional issues. And Jan would give her heart to him in a second, if he'd let her. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: The story's major conflicts stem from Jeremy's inability to express his feelings towards Jan and Jan's refusal to ask for answers. | |

| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: We see a flashback of the night Jan left, where she spots Jeremy and his girlfriend waiting for her. She thought it too painful for her to be around him and her after she'd made her move on Jeremy (and was rebuffed again). Turns out Natalie was only there to make sure Jeremy confessed his true feelings to Jan. Natalie's also a lesbian | |

Big Eater | |
| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Jeremy eats as a coping mechanism, although it turns out when he was younger this was a Justified Trope. Before Jan really knew him, the Big Eater trope was played for laughs and Jeremy would joke that his mom referred to him as a garbage disposal. He was always so hungry because his dad would spend all their money on booze for himself. | |

Self-Inflicted Hell | |
| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_6040801a | comment |
Self-Inflicted Hell: Jan is miserable for a year after Jeremy ran out on her after they finally made love. If she had simply read the letter he gave her, she would have known he confessed his love, but said he had to get his mind right before he could try to have a relationship with her, so he was taking a year or so to seek professional help. Of course, Jeremy could've simply told her this before leaving. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Split Screen (Webcomic) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Jeremy's actual rationale for not returning Jan's feelings. He thought that if he confessed his feelings Jan would throw her energy into their relationship, rather than towards college and her career. The saddest part is that he was probably right. | |

Driven to Suicide: Jeremy tried to kill himself by overdosing on sleep medication after Randy and Alma died. The only reason he lived is because his mother-in-law realized something was wrong and managed to call 911 in time. Jer says he spent some time in a mental hospital afterwards. | |
