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.

Damn, it's pretty crazy how far we've come considering how nobody has wanted to work anymore for over a century
It's sort of true, but not in the way they mean it. Most people don't want to work or they would never retire. But we're also mostly willing to work. Even work really difficult and/or dangerous jobs.
The important part is why. I love tinkering with computers and I will probably do so forever. Working for someone isnt a big deal IF people can actually not piss me off for half a day so I can actually get work done.
This always works for 6-12 months until someone decides I need to become more „flexible“ now and everything goes to shit.
Thats why self employment works best for me. I do what I can do best and you stand around at the coffee machine with your buddies (you as in people, not you specifically).
Meanwhile I love doing volunteer work with no problems whatsoever (free work most of the time) and at the same time I have problems keeping my mental health stable for a longer period of time when working for a wage...
