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.

Naw, kids are great fun
I like kids but I do not want my own.
I think people should be OK with other people making their own choices.
Telling someone to "grow up and have kids" like in the comic is really shitty just like how telling someone they made a mistake by having kids would be.
Idk why the argument is "everyone should have kids or nobody should have kids. "
I feel like the internet has ruined many people's tolerance for ambiguity or difference.
With a statement like that, there's no middle ground. Either you're a unicorn of a parent who can deal with it all or you're leaving someone else with most of the burden.
... so tell us, precious, which is it?
"skiing is great fun"
With a statement like that, there's no middle ground. You must be a one in a million natural athlete.
Just because it's fun doesn't mean it isn't work and you don't fall down many many times.
"deal with it all" is the falling on your behind repeatedly and not being discouraged by it. If that requires being a one in a million athlete, sure, that's what I'm saying.
Things can be fun and difficult. Just ask any athlete. It can be fun but requires work and practice.
People who find difficult things fun are unicorns in my book.
You play video games?
Are we really going to compare video game "difficult" with real life "difficult"?
What absolute nonsense, plenty of people like to challenge themselves.
Maybe I'm just old and neurodivergent but going out and partying sounds like a miserable time to me. I'd take changing diapers and being a human jungle gym for my kid any day.
I'm also old and neurodivergent. Kids sound as much a nightmare as going out and partying.
