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.

I've told this story before elsewhere, but, like, I graduated high school a year ahead of my class. I was the valedictorian.
Four months after I graduated high school, while I was still a 17-year-old teenager, I found myself homeless, because my mom is a dick.
My dad attempted to jumpstart my life for nearly a decade after that. The women I loved attempted to jumpstart my life for nearly a decade after that.
My friends put themselves out of their way to jumpstart my life for nearly a decade after that until it finally clicked.
I have been bailed out of being a miserable piece of shit more times than I deserve.
I know that I am still a miserable piece of shit on the inside, but thanks to the help of all of the people that kept coming to my rescue, I am a moderately successful miserable piece of shit.
If the world has conspired to give that to me, I also want the world to give that to all of the other pieces of shit out there, in hopes that, even though we are all pieces of shit, that eventually we will break down into fine, healthy compost that will nourish seeds of some other plant that isn't a piece of shit.
