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.

Working on my hobbies is fulfilling and makes me happy. If I like painting train models all weekend, who are you to argue against it? Doing nothing is boring and sad.
Jesus, who’s are people possibly taking this to mean “do nothing or else!”
Don’t let the concept of productivity ruin your desire to relax. I’m pretty sure I said your time is yours, don’t let anyone tell you how to not spend it, especially this amorphous concept of “productivity.”
There’s a pandemic of “productivity” and hustle culture, people are turning their entire lives into ways to make more money. That’s way more sad than doing nothing.
That's a perverse sense of "productivity" then. I like spending my free time getting a lot done, but none of it is a "hustle" or an attempt at making money.
You think I perverted the term “productivity?” That fits very much into my point.
Not you, you brought it up and I agree.
Having fulfilling hobbies to be “productive” is good for your mental health, sure, but it also makes doing absolutely nothing that much more enjoyable.
