- 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.

Hahaha the participation award line! you are old!
You're projecting grandpa. You were the participation award generation. You had it all handed to you and you preserved NONE of it for the next generation. And thats going to be the legacy of your generation.
Societies grow great when old men plant trees in whose shade they'll never sit, not when you raze the forest to the ground for 'as seen as TV' garbage from China, you asshole.
I wish I was old, but good luck using that an an insult. Clowns like you think anyone old enough to drink is just a few short years away from needing a cane.
Come up with more excuses for all your generation's failures. You're going to need a whole hell of a lot of them because those failures keep on coming.
Don't worry, when you come up with elders like yourself who start blaming the sins of the parents on the children by 5 years old (who really made participation awards happen? The kids or the parents?), you get pretty impervious to bullshit blame games.
I love the Gen X'rs who spout boomer "back in my day" lines with zero self-awareness that they're in the same boat as the rest of us.
They forget that they were the OG slacker generation, but maybe if they shit on millennials and zoomers enough the boomers will finally let them drive lmao!
Ah yes the classic blaming the children for what their parents did re: participation awards. No wonder you're so fucking stupid. I'm sure you had literally everything handed to you by your parents to have those views, because there's literally no fucking chance that someone who is actually working from nothing could possibly think like that. I refuse to believe that level of stupidity exists.
And who were the ones giving out participation awards?
It certainly weren't the Millenials nor Zoomers, we didn't care about those things.
