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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.

Speaking as an actual boomer, that is true of the men of my generation in particular. Many of them have zero hobbies or interests outside work, to the extent that retirement can kill them through depression. Their wives raised their children and run their social lives for them, and they often don't even have their own friends. So if their wife dies or leaves, they have to get another one or face the emptiness. These same men usually harbour huge resentment against women in general, blame us for ruining everything with our feminist nonsense. I've spent more than 50 years of my adult life dealing with these arseholes. My male friends are mostly much younger.
