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.

Also almost 40. Fuck synchronous communications. Inferior in every possible way.

How can you even say that? If that's how you live, no doubt this philosophy causes you issues at least once a week. You'd rather know that [insert major life event] happened...later... and instead of finding out immediately and confirming it/responding to it, you can try to call them later only for it now to be a hassle because they're not answering, and the only email you have goes to some dumbass ai bot. Yeah so much more convenient than picking up a phone on occasion, when it's important

Or the exact same thing happens and you can't even get a response to them because you're relying on a synchronous mode of communication which requires both parties to be engaged at the same time ....

Or you could just send them a message and they'll see it when they look.

Try texting your 80 year old landlord... being a little flexible isn't the chore some of you insist
