I’ve always heard of a piker as a cheapskate. The definition probably referred to in the comic, “person who withdraws from a commitment”, as mentioned above, is apparently Australian slang…
Have to wake husband if he falls asleep unless there is specific reason he is sleeping (such as not feeling well or not falling asleep night before) or he will be upset that he was sleeping and wasted time. He bought a small big screen TV and we have to watch it in the dark to pretend it we are at the movies for our Saturday night date – I have to keep poking him in the ribs to keep him awake – if he left the light on he would stay awake – maybe,but then it would depend on the movie not on it being dark.
I almost never vacuum. Since I was a child I am terrified of vacuum cleaners. That is husband’s job or I just use the Swiffer to clean the floor. He uses a shop vac to do the floor vacuuming.

Arlo may not be a pro napper but he certainly is a talented amateur! 8^ )

If Arlo’s ears had evolved to hear the patter of mousey feets, he’d be running from the vacuum too.

I don’t even do the dishes if my wife falls asleep, that’s the kind of guy I am.

Piker. As opposed to Punter.
Just don’t call him a polecat.
