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.

"The abyss hungers!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! The infinite yawning abyss of darkness which lies within the soul of every living being and seeks to extinguish all that is good so that it can finally be perfectly alone in the endless silent void. We've all seen it. I'm late for my brunch."
“I have to die. If it is now, well then I die now; if later, then now I will take my lunch, since the hour for lunch has arrived - and dying I will tend to later.” – Epictetus
No, no, you've got it all wrong. The Abyss isn't evil! The Abyss is our True Mother, who always looks after us with her watchful eye, and is ready to receive and embrace us into the comfort and rest of eternal oblivion, as soon as we are ready to return home to her!
It is the delusion that the material world holds goodness, bounty, and pleasure for us that keeps us fearful of, and separate from, the unconditional love of the Great Mother, the Abyss.
Just simplify it to: We should kill ourselves, as we don't have a purpuse anyway.
We all must wake up from the dream. Some of us wake up today, others wake up tomorrow, or many years from now, but everyone wakes up some day.
The embrace of the Mother isn't death, it is life. The material world is the true grave.
Don't weep for those who die, weep for the living!
Those stuck in the dream want you to believe that what you see is real, because it's by keeping us trapped in the dream that they are able to power the machine that allows them to extract as much false pleasure as they can from the dream for themselves.
