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.

Heavy statement to say to someone that would lose its life job over dystopian machines, I have friends that are in this cartoon, one with a kiddo. What to say to them ?
Same we said to typesetters, switchboard operators, elevator drivers, milkmen, travel agents, video rental employees, lamplighters, computers (the job), horse farmers, coal miners, etc. You learn a new skill, you get a new job and carry on.
Yeah, I sometimes sit in awe of the work of the milkmen of 3,000 years ago and imagine their lives and the things that must have inspired them to carry that milk.
Which milkman is your favorite?
