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.

MODERATORS
Schrodinger's nostalgia - life was worse and better depending on the current goals of the speaker.
Had to walk to school, uphill both ways in -40C everyday, all year. Things were better back then.
Current goals? In my experience, it depends on the speaker's mood. If the person feel sad, they think of a cherrypicked happy moment in the past. Or, having a superiority complex and looking down on younger folks. I have read that the former response provides a natural antidepressant effect when one is feeling sad.
