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).

When young my experience with articulation was a friend whose figures fingers moved. Talk about jelly, and there was way more than that he would find in his yearly trips to visit family in hong kong. Ok. Also. We are talking the 80's. More specifically and a little bit about the comic meta. Her little girl persona. Im not sure if its been used before. She has an angel and demon persona that started appearing as mental tug of war early on in the comics life and then there is a little girl princess that became a regular and seems to handle the child like impulses. Im a little surprised that inner monologue persona did not deliver the line here. The newest one I have seen is sorta a troll that seems to represent anger but maybe more base instinct.

This is a Christmas one so not much to say about it. More relaxed and cutesy for the holiday. Gonna get really meta and talk about something I have though about artists who have a large body of work over time that is personal to some degree. My two favorite artists are piers anthony (author) and ian anderson (musician in the band jethro tull). Their works go across decades and anthony would always put these authors notes talking a bit about his life. For me he is the greatest story teller but not necessarily writer. What I mean is he had works that were sorta rehashes of other works but I was alway excited to get to the authors notes and that gets to the story teller part. I found he could talk about making eggs for breakfast and it would be fascinating. Ok switch to anderson and his music had a lot of viewpoints and feelings that come from him. So the thing im getting to is years later they have this log of their lives in their art. They can sit down and read or listen to something they did you their youth and recapture who they were then. I find that magical. I think this is the reason so many people recommend journalling. Thing is you have to not lose the journal. When you release them into the public space they become functionally immortal in the modern age. So you can never lose that precious bit of timespace encapsulated in the art. It makes me a bit jelly as if there is one aspect of human existence that is contrary to my skillset it is art. Writing being the closest I may get to it and well. You all know what my writing is like.

Seriously, am I going to have to pay attention to their comics again? I haven't done that since Gahan Wilson died.

This one is on a subject I have little experience with as I don't have kids but you know im human and I live in society and I have been adjacent to these scenarios so I get it. I like that she mentions a movie the situation reminds her of in her comments on the site. Maybe I will throw that on today if I can find it free.

So these comments are mine but if you go to the site the artist comments on the strip. Not all the time but definitely more frequently in the last few years over early on. This is sorta a common shtick I see where the progressive ideals are secretly for personal greedy reasons. I always love it. It is funny because I do see progressive causes from a greedy perspective. I would like all the people I interact with as I move through society to be educated and healthy. I like public spaces. I like well maintained infrastructure. and I'm not afraid to pay taxes for it, provided taxes are collected progressively. People should be able to make a decent wage.
