Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

my nephews have a better life than me. but their lives are way harder and stressful than mine was. they have zero free time apart from holidays. they do nothing creative or exploratory, every minute of everyday is scheduled.
their college educations are paid for. mine wasn't. but they will work way harder to achieve less. but they eat way better food/healthcare, have better clothes, have better homes, etc than I ever did.
of course they are growing up this way and thus they don't and never will appreciate how good they have it. they already are razor focused on the fact that someone else has it better than them and how unfair it is they aren't traveling to europe for family vacations like their friends are.
