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.

Disturbingly accurate. I ain't out doing midlife crisis shit because I suddenly stared into the abyss at my own mortality. It's because I can afford everything I've always wanted to do.
Yes, how do people not get this? It’s super simple
They can't afford to do the same.
I cannot afford it but I completely understand the situation. I've been unhappy with everything in my life since I started working 20 years ago. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck anymore but I cannot afford anything because as soon as I have some money there's some fucking emergency happening. Roof on fire, car accident, heating pipes explosion, electric connection on fire, bike stolen.... it's like clockwork: I save some money, something happens.
He's saying why don't people understand this.
