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.

I hope y’all are 80 cause I’m 40’s and pretty damn fit to be fair. Owe it rock climbing, running, lots of walking, and gym but I hate the gym these days it’s so boring.
Use it or lose it people.
...fourties are when the little injuries start; nothing debilitating, just minor tweaks from time to time which surprise that your resilience isn't quite what it was twenty years ago...
...fifties are when they sneak up to get their revenge...
As someone in my 30s I've been told that by folks in their 40s and 50s about hitting the 30s and so far besides a reduction in the ability to not get a hangover I'm not really seeing it.. I can't speak from experience so far but part of me wonders if that's not just folks projecting their own specific issues onto those younger than them.
I'm not casting shade on you specifically, I don't know your specific circumstances, it just makes me wonder how much of this is age vs how long folks have gone without exercise and have begun to atrophy. Kids play and run a lot so one could assume they're probably more fi than we are even if they're weaker and slower than us due to their size.
