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.

I’ll tell you something that has worked for me, and it’s the only thing that works.
Music.
Learn enough to improvise and just dive into it. Today I fastforwarded through three straight hours banging drumsticks on plastic buckets at work. I can make whole days disappear just playing my guitar. I disappear completely and just get lost in the sound. It puts me in a trance and I forget I was ever a person.
It might not work for you, but wouldn’t it be rad if it did?
And don’t think it’s too late to learn. My ex sat down at a piano bench at 26 and said, “I want to learn this.” So she did. About a year later she said, “I’d like to learn to play your guitar.” She learned to play it and that’s what she did every evening for years.
Nothing takes me out of this world like playing music.
