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.

Or a weird lump checked out.
Oh, that's simple. The root canal they'll handle by going to the ER, getting antibiotics, and not getting the tooth taken care of until it has to be extracted completely (or just breaks off at the gum line, and taking antibiotics way too often for it)
The broken leg they'll get done at the er, too.
In both cases it'll lead to debt they likely will ignore, because what the fuck else can they do?
But the lump? That one they'll just ignore. It isn't actively painful, and there's nothing they can do for it, anyway. So they'll just die young.
Money isn't the root of all evil... But is damn sure the tool of evil.
People managed in the past without healthcare. A lot of them died younger as a result, but you can still live your life without it I guess.
You can't live your life without healthcare if you die young. What are you even trying to say here?
You live your life up until the point you don't
