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 work in the outdoor lawn and garden department. As you can imagine, this is our busy time. As in, we make 75% of our yearly money in these 3 months.
Yeah, we got dudes whose sole purpose on some days is standing around loading mulch, dirt and rocks. "Loader" is actually on their schedule. People pay up front and drive around the side to pick up. LOL, not having that sort of thing in Germany, you might be appalled at how entitled some people are. I'm middle-aged, so I'm friendly and helpful, but I ain't getting treated like a slave.
Have to admit, I've been a low-key ass to some who annoy me. "Man! How are you going to get this unloaded?!" Subtext being: "You're too much of a pussy to pick it up. How are you going to actually use it?"
Yes, I know how entitled some people in the US can be. Don't get me wrong, we also have some of those here but the entitled people in the US are on a different league. I visited the US once and we experienced the first entitled person before even getting through security.
I guess here in Germany we don't have quite the same mentality that the business needs to help pack your stuff, we also don't have grocery baggers (or door greeters).
