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.

MODERATORS
I did this when I was a teenager and it was surprisingly effective at helping me get out of a depressive period.
Instead of barking I would drown out the negative with a small, pre-thought up, positive sentence about myself. When I caught the negative thoughts, I'd drown them out with it in my head.
Drown that which effects our mental state. Got it.
It worked for God
Alcohol works on both external aaaand internal wounds
i do it with little songs or like jazz scatting (lol).
But it doesn't help for nighttime lying in bed (especially if my partner is asleep) - so for that I use the method where you consciously check in and stop moving and relax each muscle in your body as granulary as you can - toes, heels, tops of feet, ankles, calves... all the way up to head.
People think I'm weird because I meow randomly but I am actually weird because I meow to interrupt thoughts I don't wanna have
I whish i would just meow... Im just screaming randomly
I randomly start singing swear words, but I've learned to do it quietly
I just start to curse ._.
alot of improvements
Thank you. My favorite thing, can never not think of it
All of Hyperbole and a Half was great.
I hope the author's doing okay. From what I understand she was struggling with some pretty severe depression, which is why she stopped posting.
I think she's just smart enough to not live her life in the public eye. Her Wikipedia entry shows she pops up every once in a while, most recently in 2020.
If they can’t handle me at my worst (insufferable), then they don’t deserve me at my best (tolerable)
I don't get how someone can worry about this when they're in a relationship. There's clearly nothing that wrong with them if they have living proof of the opposite standing right there.
A love relationship is different from a work relationship or a friendship. They require different skills, functions and have different stakes.
