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
Next time censor the J word please
In the future they'll just censor all of the verbs, nouns, and adjectives.
Or, in modern parlance, "In the f*ture th*y'll just c*ns*r all of the v*rbs, n**ns and adj*ctives."
The star will be the only vowel. Eventually they'll just drop it all together and English will be only consonants. Children will ask "nn gndrd prnt fgr, why ds th kybrd hv ths xtr fnny lttrs?" And no one will know the answer.

I don't like that you didn't censor any "y", even in words that it is clearly a vowel.

I don't mind doing work, but I do mind not being compensated enough that even working 60+ hours a week won't afford me even the cheapest rat-hole to live in. The fuck is the point of spending my time slaving away for some rich fuck to get richer while I live in the street or a car if I am lucky?
The slavery is the point. The robber-barons of 100 years ago determined a tired, busy workforce doesn't have time to organize or protest.
(The idea wasn't precisely new - they didn't invent exploitation, but they shaped the industrial revolution and as such their impact can be felt across the modern world.)
Don't forget traumatized and isolated
"Oi Clean Shirt!"
How did you get that shirt so clean mate?
Those kids have no idea whatsoever of what went on at Stalingrad.
Trust fund babies can be so cruel 😢
I feel attacked that one of the jobdonthavers is wearing a TTGL shirt.

I think heard in passing, some video clip saying a dude was "promoting the 9-5 lifestyle", aka having a job? Is that bad now? I'm getting old.
It's more exploitative than many younger individuals agree with. 40 hours and still can't buy a home? I'd say the 9 to 5 is a failed experiment.
Thanks for the context. Fwiw I can definitely empathize with that. Companies have been giving employees shit deals more and more over time.
For instance, I've met single company lifers and can't imagine that level of loyalty given a company wouldn't think twice to lay me off.
A lot of people like that are just coasting along, and fairly happy with where they are.
And that's fine, if your company treats you well, it's not a moral failing or anything.
No judgements either way, but some people do believe their company cares about them. I have yet to experience that myself is all.
They'll sometimes do just enough to give the impression they care about employees, as happy workers are generally more productive.
