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've only got a single comment about wearing a mask in public. Somebody cattily asking "why are you wearing a mask?" to which I replied "How about you mind your own business?" Did not go any further than that.
Because I have stupid little bitch-ass immune system, I'm ridiculously susceptible to being sick, which I don't enjoy. So I'm either 1 germ away from being sick, or I'm already sick.
One of the nice things about post-pandemic life where I am is the normalization of wearing masks if you're sick, vulnerable, or just feel like it. Someone shows up at work
or on public transportation
with a mask and no one bats an eye.
(I'm in the USA in a very blue, VHCOL area, YMMV...)
It's nice! I don't like my health situation being outed, so I'm glad that it's now less acceptable to ask.
Unfortunately, I'm in a very red area. My last boss kept exasperatedly telling me that I "don't have to wear a mask while I'm at work"— which gave me more of a reason to wear a mask at work. Turns out, I was right. None of them were vaccinated, and my boss ended up having a heart attack which forced him to permanently close down the shop. Oh well.
