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.

I've been waiting for someone to go off on a service employee in front of me so I can kinda do that, although I plan on saying something similar to, "who the fuck do you think you are? That's a human being, and they have no control over [issue]."
I can get away with it because I'm a large, imposing dude with a deep booming voice. As long as my wife isn't with me, because she gets mad at me for getting involved.
I was waiting on a pickup order for food once and a lady walks in and started going off because it was 8:07, she didn't have her food, and her order was supposed to be ready at 8:05. There's like 10 people waiting, they are obviously overwhelmed and doing the best they can.
Me, being a bigger guy as well, chimed in with: "It's obviously busy in here, they're doing their best. I've been waiting patiently for about 10 minutes, and some people have been here longer than me." Another guy chimed in "My order was due at 7:45, calm down lady!" She huffed and walked away from the counter glaring at us.
A few minutes later the worker came out and says "Order for Karen?" Lady grabs her bag and leaves... Other guy and I share a look and both started laughing.
I got a $10 gift card for my "inconvenience".
