      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.

I mean... It has the new thing... Seems pretty important to me, and if you still have the first stuff you're a bad person
I just met someone who had the same phone for 8 years and I was so impressed. Mine never lasts that long…
My phones are averaging a lifespan of 18 months. Not because I treat them badly, but I have the horrible luck of dropping a weight on thrm at the gym... twice now
I think dropping weights on them counts as "treating them badly", but I'm no expert.
Well we’ve not come this far by listening to experts, silly.
I heard some phones enjoy it. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't say.
Well as I said, in both cases it was an unfortunate accident haha. I know how I treat my stuff, and badly isn't it!
are we talking full bars or just plates?
Dumbells of all things. Both, badly placed as I set it down. In one case, tipped over onto the bottom of my phone. The second, rolled across the floor onto the edge of the phone, destroying the hinge. Suuuuper miffed, now keep phones at least 2m from anything heavy that moves (yes, I had the same thought lol)
Where do you live that people give out plates of candy for Halloween?
