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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a childless person thing. Very much an outsider "I only see my friends when they're looking for time out" perspective.
If you want to see this in spades, you can go through the back catalog of Penny Arcade. Pre-kids, there was a ton of this "Oh no! Kids are the worst! They get in the way of all my drunken debauchery and time-consuming hobbies." Post-kids, its a tidal wave of "Look at what my son can do! Look at what my daughter is into!" and they're going out of their way to make life as fun and fulfilling as possible for the next generation, because that's what they know they craved at that age.
