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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Crazy to think someone would actually go "4 isn't enough, let's go for 5".
It’s like playing Russian roulette without spinning the chamber.
I’ve pulled the trigger 4 times already, I must just be lucky so let’s keep pulling that trigger!
That's absolutely mental. Even three easy babies are a handful. Like, really a handful. Going for a fifth is tempting fate too much.
I blame the hormones. There's something about that post-birth period where the hormones not only help bond a mother/parent with their kid and forget about all the trauma and pain they went through with the pregnancy and birth, but it also makes a lot of people want another baby.
A colleague had two and they went for a third and got twins. That was a rough time for him.
It’s child abuse. There is literally not enough time in a day to give each kid the attention they need.
You know that the oldest had to parent the younger ones and will never have kids of their own. For reasons.
My parents were from families of 8 and 7, all but one of those 14 couples had at least 1 kid and only 2 had less than three. Do my anecdotes cancel out your anecdote?
