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.

At least kids eventually leave, with pets you get to watch them slowly waste away and die in the most expensive ways possible.

They get mad because I “don’t have responsibilities” and it’s not a conversation just people shouting at me
Whenever someone tells me about their kids I’m like, I’m happy for you, but have you seen literally anything humanity has done for the last half century?
What was that movie about post partum depression and the nannie that comes over to help?

Is it good? I've had it in the backlog for a while
I found it very good, fascinating, makes you feel a full range of emotions being confronted by such a natural yet heavy human experience.
I am childfree 33, childfree both by choice and by economic circumstances. I have a intense aversion towards baby's, doesn't mean others shouldn't get them. I used to think that instead of having kids, I could just be the cool uncle that babysits sometime. Turns out I really dislike babys. So, probably should never get my own.
Sometimes I get tempted by the wish, but then I am reminder that I prefer the risk of regretting not having children, then risking regretting having children. And while I do subscribe to the anti-natalist worldview, that only should dictate my actions, not those of other people.
I am very lucky to have a partner who is also childfree by choice.
