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.

Maybe if Peter was paid a living wage, had rent that wasn’t price fixed, wasn’t at the mercy of artificial inflation, could afford to buy a home without an outrageous interest rate, a retirement age and pension that could support his retirement, and had all the economical advantages the boomers had… he wouldn’t be in a bar drinking himself into an early grave.
But, let’s blame Spider-Man.
Spiderman was born in the 50s. He absolutely got all the economic advantages the boomers had.
Ehhh, that's kinda like Batman though. Peter Parker is eternally a teenager/young twenties, just like Bruce Wayne is always in his late twenties/ early thirties, except that one comic.
Bring back Old Bruce.
"Artificial" inflation?
Wait until this guy finds out the whole economy is artificial.
Maybe “engineered” inflation would explain it better
Sure let's just give up because other people had it "easier"
there is "easier" and then there is just mathematically impossible.
a house used to be less than 5 times your yearly salary in any region, now we are looking at halt a million+
I just don't want to participate in a society that literally doesn't care about it's future or it's children enough to actually help them.
It's not giving up it's just a refusal to add to the problem and fight against a community of individuals trying to take as much from everyone else as possible.
And unfortunately that means dying young, poor, and unable to help myself.
Is it giving up when it’s already hopeless?
