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.

Even if I want to get rid of something for nothing, I'll put it up for a fiver.
The number of fucking idiots that come out of the woodwork rises exponentially when you list it for free, proper unreasonable or a ludicrous false sense of entitlement.
I'll wait until someone wants it, offers to pay, and tell them to keep it and put it in a charity box on their way home or some shit. Saves a lot of hassle.
I used to do this, too, until local charities started complaining about all the lamps being posted into their donation boxes.
😂 I should have known...!
It was all in the post in front of you.
Ah the ol Lemmy-roo
Yeah for a week my sister had so many people grilling her about the condition of or asking her to deliver the couch she offered free. She relisted at 20 bucks, someone "talked her down" to a fiver and grabbed it that day
I gave a load of my stuff away for free just before emigrating about four years ago, and you wouldn't believe how much palaver people will go through to organise picking up a couch. I'd be making time come hell or high water if I wanted something like that for free.
I just put stuff at the end of the driveway with a $20 sign on it.
Someone will come 'steal' it in under an hour.
I just donate things to thrift stores. I can't be bothered to sell anything. I did enough customer service jobs when I was younger to know that I have zero patience for customers.
Keep it
Bro I bought it
You misunderstand.
Keep the payment, take the goods.
What color is it
