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.

For me its actually buying up all the awesome stuff that will never be made again like reel tape players, old video game systems (emulation fixes a lot of this but still), crts, old tube amps, old pcs.

I worry daily how old all of these things I love are getting. Born 30 years too late!

I think you are born in just the right time. "Back then"™ that stuff was normal. Now we know it is special.

I don't know, I grew up in the 00s and I remember that the music on the radio was 90% pure unadulterated ass. But then the bad songs get forgotten and the best ones earn their place in history. I believe the same thing happens to all trends and technology. While it's always great to give old stuff a new life I believe we'll look back on these days in twenty years and start collecting technology from this decade too. What will it be? No one knows.
