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.

Gen X looks too young in this.
I get that a lot.
I mean we are talking about people 45 to 60 years old at this point.
I look young. I feel old but I look young. So much so the people I work with thought I was in my early 40's when I was hired four years ago. I'm nearly 54.
I am just sad to see people portray gen X and Y as young, as if people can not be old.
Are these gens just going to work until death, always treated like the Jr.s?
I get that. We are going to be the generation blamed with everything. They are blaming the boomers now but in just a little while all of it will be our fault.
I worry it will never be our turn to be at fault, gen X is already retirement age and yet somehow still the kids.
Turns out not all 45 year olds look 60.
few 45 year olds look 25 though (like the comic above). I mean your not fooling anyone.
Beard and eyebrows are when 25.
well with no grey, and smooth skin, yes. (did you not have eyebrows at 25?)
Maybe I just have beautiful friends, I dunno. But no Grey in beard is not strange and my cartoon friend is wearing a hat, and has cartoon skin.
The issue is the boomer in the comic is old, like you can see that. But gen X is just one gen down (45-65 vs 66-79), but drawn like always as young.
The issue is that there's no issue and now it's getting a little weird so ima go shave, I guess.
