Each clause is independent because they each contain their own subject and predicate.
Each clause can stand alone as a proper sentence. They are connected by a coordinating
conjunction, which is always introduced using a comma.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause joined to a dependent clause by a
subordinating conjunction.
