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.

Do you ever feel like aging is socially isolating? When I was 18 I could chat with literally anyone and it was almost always well received. But the older I get, the more socially isolated I am starting to feel. It feels like younger people want nothing to do with people older than them, even at places like climbing gyms... Which I understand, but it still makes me a little sad. I am not expecting to be good friends with any of them, but being able to chat and be friendly with other adults makes life less depressing.
I think the lack of shared culture is also making life far more socially isolating. When I meet people my own age at a social event, it is becoming harder and harder to chat with them. I don't watch sports, I don't keep up with the latest movies, and I hate consumerism. My dream is to live in a car free community with a social democracy. I love learning, urbanism and socialism. But there is scarcely anyone my age in any of the local socialist organizations....
