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.

Joke's on you! My kid came after I realized that capitalism is fucked and we're probably gonna witness societal collapse within our lifetime. I wasn't going places. I wasn't going anywhere.
Now at least I've got something to look forward to.
You look forward to your child's immense suffering under a collapsing society?
I don't think a societal collapse will result in suffering, but rather a better society.
Well that's not how it usually goes but here's to optimism I guess.
I don't think I will ever understand this mindset.
You decided to force a child to live through societal collapse because "it's something to look forward to".
Yikes.
I think that you focussmore on community. "Societal collapse" will probably be more like societal restructuring.
Empires falling is mostly only bad for the ones controlling the empire. Yes, things might get harder, but humankind will prevail and continue to find joy. Probably more joy in a post-capitalist world than I will in a capitalist one. Maybe it's not my child who will enjoy that society, but my grandchild. But I have something to give to the next generation.
You'll have to become more focused on community as the empire falls. but family is one hell of a community.
