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.

You'll always feel old, and you'll always look back at yourself a decade prior and marvel at what a fool you were for feeling old back then when you were really so, so young. This is a universal experience.
I didn't really get going on anything until my mid 30s. I just cleaned floors and answered phones. Ended up meeting another late bloomer. We both graduated from mid college programs at the end of our 30s, and now we're both limping through our "careers" in our 40s.
Yeah it might have been better if we started earlier but we didn't. And I sure as fuck look back at myself at 30 thinking how even with 000 to show for it I was still young and full of future, even if I felt like an ancient loser.
