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.

And the Gen Z is... reading a newspaper? Nah fam, I don't think that's what's going on.

You think millennials read newspapers? We are the first digital native generation. In fact, we saw the internet growing up while we grew up ourselves

Remember the internet before Facebook and Instagram? Good times. It was all Flash Games and p... Uhm, videos

I still know my ICQ number. Back when all instant messagers had open protocols and you could use one open source client for all of them.

I'm still slightly mad that everyone wanted to use AIM instead of ICQ, even though icq was better. It had offline messaging and you could change your display name, neither of which aim supported.

Anyone younger than like 30 probably has no idea that those were noteworthy features at one time. You could only send someone a message if they were actively connected at the same time as you.

I regret forgetting mine. I know it was 3965....... Something. But that's as far as I know for sure.

No I don't think we do. I sure as hell don't. Yes indeed, we are, and we did. That's why I think the whole comic is bullshit, like wtf is this whole thing? Feels like some Gen X or earlier is trying out this web comic thing. I don't even know.

Growing up? I think you mean "getting drained of any creativity or energy with age."
