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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm a bit of a hoarder, but not because I'm sentimentally attached. I feel like I would later need it and not have it. To my bane, I sometimes end up using some seemingly useless piece of trash one day without having to buy it, thus affirming my beliefs.
Also if you finally throw something out that you hoarded for years, you end up needing it within like a week.
DIY-ers unite!
I'm 100% gonna use all of those niche, one-off cables. Maybe just the connector will be useful..
That little metal bracket thingy? Uh, I don't remember what it was for.. or actually I do but I don't have that thing anymore... But if I end up making something similar in size, I've already got a bracket!
Was this the box of good parts, or the box of bad parts? Eh, I don't have time to test right now, better just keep both boxes... (followed by, "why isn't this working? I just swapped in new parts..)
Ah, this completely useless thing I made! Ha! How foolish I was to think this would ever serve it's intended purpose. I'd better keep it to remind myself how dumb I was.
My great-grandmother turned 20 during the Great Depression, and she helped raise me. I think that's why I'm like this too.
