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.

When I got out of the Army and went home, I saw a lot of neighbors that I used to hang out with. I asked them what they'd been up to and this was the only answer I ever got back. It was crazy to me considering just how much stuff I had done since the last time I saw them. Traveling, training, learning an entire career, serving, partying, vacations, competitive athletic events. My life had been full of new experiences and these people had done "nothing". The contrast was shocking.
TBF that's my default answer when I'm put on the spot. I ran into a friend from highschool this week and they asked the same. While the answer should have been "I've lived and worked in some really neat places since I saw you last", my brain just spit out "oh, not much".
