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 don't really understand preppers. Why would you want to survive after society collapses? That sounds awful.
The chance to create a new society in our own image. With government subsidised cocaine and hookers.
The problem is "our" image is not something we all agree on. I see no reason for that to be different for the handful of survivors. The survivors will most likely end up wishing they had died quickly.
You'd rather die?
Than have to scrape by in a post-apocalyptic hellscape? Absolutely.
I don't have a Mad Max fantasy.
Not very shiny and chrome of you.
Oh, what a movie. What a lovely movie!
Lame
Probably evolution. My guess is that there have always been "weirdos" that live at the outside or are especially paranoid. Most of the time it's just weird, but sometimes it payed off during our evolution.
Basically your great great great great great great great great great great granddad was a prepper. But you didn't inherit the prepper gene.
