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.

The hell of it is, some people would still be happy to buy his apples. Look, I ain't got time or health insurance to be fucking around climbing an apple tree, here's some cash, apples pls. But that's not good enough for the investors, who want guaranteed 5% growth every quarter, so now we've got to pour kerosene on the extra apples and force people to go hungry.
You've read The Vines of Wrath.
It's The Grapes of Being A Bit Miffed actually
Much better than the sequel, The Apricots of Annoyance.
The porn Adaptation, Plums of Pleasure, is a banger though, pun intended.
Fun fact: A stable company may appear to be growing by ~3% a year if you don't account for inflation.
I guess that's a silver lining because then investors don't see a stable company as stagnating.
Congratulations, you just discovered nominal value.
Are you really trying to put forth the incredibly naive proposition that the stock market is not aware of inflation?
I... guess so?
