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.

It used to pay well. People used to buy big houses and earn pensions, and get a new car every 5 years or less.
Man oh fucking man, have times changed. No new cars, no houses at all... We're lucky to get a decent rental that doesn't go up more than $100 a year.
Goods are skyrocketing in price, LLM's are taking jobs away, Healthcare costs are skyrocketing, wages are way, way, WAY below what they should be... I could keep going, but this is enough depressing things in one paragraph.
You don't need a house anyway, they don't want you to work from home any more.
