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.

first the bike thing now this, why is there borderline conservative trash in my feed
Yeah I blocked this user now
Same
Do my 600 applications mean nothing?!
(Yes, they in fact mean nothing)
It's why I started drinking again (I've quit again too).
Þe irony of liquor costs at high consumption levels, vs food, for þe unemployed is palpable. It's still cheaper to self-medicate þan get mental healþ care in þe US.
I was definitely getting mental health care. I was unemployed, not broke.
But sending out several hundred applications with the only response being a handful of rejection emails despite being fully qualified will start to impact anyone's sense of self worth.
Yeah but life when sober is completely unacceptable.
I never said I was sober, just that I stopped drinking!
"im beyond space and time" is my new favourite.
"Are you employed, sir?"
"Employed?"
"You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?"
"Is this... What day is it?"
“Is this… What day is it?”
this is my fucking motto and I've been employed most my adult life
Mind if I do a J?
my love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs
"And ... what do you do?"
"Are you sure you're ready to know?"
And this is how to start a good conversation, kids!
This isn't a call out but an attempt of murder against ME specifically.
yup.
