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.

That comic must be 10 years old, because 10 years old laptops these days would be drawn ripped and making pushups
10 years old would be 7th Gen Intel which is perfectly capable.
For anyone else budget conscious: you can get excellent laptops by looking for an 8th gen Intel laptops in pristine condition on eBay for <£150. This will be perfect for daily use, web, office, etc. If you need gaming then get a used Steam Deck OLED. This is suitable computing for a huge number of people's usecase.
If you are in the USA and are on public assistance, then https://pcsrefurbished.com/sales/salesHome is a great place, especially for laptops. My last laptop from here is a HP Zbook 15 Fury G8 with a Nvidia RTX A2000 for $175.
Older thinkpads are still a great deal too. Just have to stick to the actual business ones and not the consumer ones.
