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.

Can't have kids entering adulthood with any ideas about changing or helping the world. Much better for business if they give up all those hopes and just get a job.
They'd better get a job, caring for a walrus isn't cheap.
The smiles are priceless, but the wall repair bill for tusk marks is higher than you’d expect.
Even if they did have ideas, there's a good chance they'd still get pushed into a confined and dehumanizing existence.
Still better to try than not imo
Yeah, but I can kind of get why some fiction might want to frame adulthood more in the direction of tapering expectations with a "sordid lament over losing the parts of yourself you like" since that's totally realistic
