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.

At least it wasn't COBOL
COBOL has job security
Not to mention what you can charge being one of the few people who can still write COBOL
Writing the COBOL probably isn’t the hard part. Reading 60 year old code that had to run in 16k of core to figure out what slice of business logic it contributes… yeah.
I used to laugh about COBOL, who can take it seriously, right? But now that I'm working in a larger company I can assure you that COBOL is the backbone of large industry. Aviation, finance, railway operations, insurance, you name it. We're talking software running nonstop for decades.
