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 once had a machine shop teacher that has a qoute that still lives rent free in my brain.
"I feel bad for the people who grew up rich because they dont know how to do anything themselves and dont know how to fix anything!"
Its pretty true life advice, i wouldnt change the way a grew up even a little bit. Not having alot growing up made me happy to have the small things and take care of the things i already owned. You can be rich with money but the poorest with skills and intelligence and that makes you more sad then ill ever be.
The rich have it better, I feel like that's just cope.
Money buys time and convenience. Mr.Rich has no interest in fixing his dishwasher, he pays "the help" to do that and he gets the "bonus" of feeling better than someone else when "the help" comes to fix it. He can then go on a run or sit around doing whatever the hell he wants, not having to worry about fixing anything. He bought the time we lose fixing things.
I've been "the help" and was literally called as such when a little girl said hi to me and her mother said "dont talk to the help." We're so below them and they enjoy that.
Dear Faust, this sounds so fucked.
