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.

Lol why? what moral ground are you coming from to suggest that other people should be serious about what you think is serious? Nothing is serious, we're all just meat bags. If you want to get counseling go for it. For most people it's better just to divorce quicker and not prolong your dissatisfaction because of some weird social or pseudo-religious adherence to norms.
Nice nihilism you got there. If "nothing matters and we'll all die eventually" is your counterpoint to "marriage is a legal construct that goes beyond well meant promises and might result in severe financial issues so don't lightheartedly get married or divorced", then fine, yeah, in the grand scheme of things I guess you're right.
Those that want to keep the small existence they built and don't want to lose their house in the current economy might disagree though. The universe doesn't care about their demise, true, but they themselves might just do.
Im not a nihilist. I didn't say nothing matters. There's no -objective- meaning. I create my own. What matters to me is education, sex, music and freedom. I want to create a society where people don't need to stay in bad marriages to survive.
Cool. Try the "there's no objective meaning, I create my own" strategy in court when they tell you that the meaning of the law is that you have to pay up after a divorce and tell me how that went for you.
I'm divorced, it was amicable and there was no property to divide. Not everyone is living in your sad little world. For example, the people in the comic. Which I thought we were talking about.
