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.

Why assume I don't? I use my time very well by my estimation. Plenty would think I'm totally blowing it. Doesn't matter as they will be just as dust as I before long. Time will pass just the same after humanity is dead. We cannot use time. It is doing it's own thing and we are pushed along for the ride no matter what happens.
That's why I stand by my words. We can't use time, thus we can't waste it or use it wisely. We can only pass through it on its terms, never ours.
If you think you're using your time very well then it seems you are able to tell if you waste it or use it wisely for yourself. You can't control its flow but you can choose how to use the resource.
I choose to believe I am. I'm not using the time though. You cannot use it is the entire point. No matter what you do, no matter how you feel about it, no matter if you even exist anymore, time continues. Hell, you're used by time far more than you'll ever be able to use it. There is no wise use of time or waste. There is only passage.
Also, what you might think of as wise, I might think of as an absolute waste of a life. Too many differing opinions to nail down what the fuck a wise use of time is. We get to decide that little lie for ourselves. Regardless, there is a waiting future where everything we thought important is nothing but dust and ash.
I used to think like you. Life taught me better. You'll learn too, in time.
So, why don't you just wait for your death on your bed? It's not even waiting, because you can't use time, even for waiting, so I guess you are already dead. Spooky!
