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.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

[pink, sitting on the floor, hunched, looking sad] Chronic depression is ruining my life, I barely have a will to live left, anyway I must go to this social gathering so let's get up and go I guess

[green, holding their head, looking distraught] I am literally on the verge of death, both physically and psychologically, anyway, let's head to a social gathering

[pink and green with faint smiles, reaching for each other's hands]

Hi, how are you?
Fine, and you?
Fine

Some time ago, I thought "fuck courtesies" and began to answer with how I really feel. It's now one of my (sadistic) little pleasures to see the uneasy face of someone that just received "oh, I feel like a ton of shit *fake smile*" as a reply. And it's just adorable when someone cares enough to genuinely ask what's going on. You find who you can count on if things really go south.

I'm usually honest but brief.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Tired. You?"

Or:

"Hey, how's it going?"

"Ha ha. Ha... ha. grimace It's going. You?"

"Yeah, about the same."
