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.

Yup, had perfect health until 10 years ago then I got bad discs, arthritis and neuropathy. Now I cannot walk more than a metre or 2 before major ouchies. Enjoy it while you have it.
There's bone, hurting, and... juice?
Wake you up bean juice.

If you've ever listened to Welcome to Nightvale this was one of the first weather reports. Was driving to work one day when it came on and just had to pull over and stare off into the distance for a few minutes.
Great song, I listened to it too much. Still have to revisit it.
Being disabled in Amerikkka is basically this. I mean lots of people could feel less pain but government and corporations don't want that sooooo yeah..
You only feel less pain through addictive drugs! No corrective surgery, or therapy, for you!
You have two states in the timelines of your life.
You are either suffering and it will pass, one way or another.
Or you're not suffering and at some point in the future when you're suffering again, you will look back at the moments you weren't suffering as "the good old days."
If you're not currently in extreme mental or physical anguish, you are living in your future's good memories, no matter how bleak it seems. If you are in extreme mental or physical anguish... this too shall pass.

And then it suddenly becomes even worse and you'll yearn back to not the beginning that was the best, but just the previous, only marginally better state.
