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
The author taking Camus' other advice, and imagining Sisyphus happy, then going farther, into realms of the fantastical, and imagining Camus happy too.
That doesn't make any sense for him to stop.
Sisyphus cannot stop rolling the boulder, he's not doing it because he wants to. He was cursed by Zeus.
You guys have cracked and absolutely SLAMMED this comic with your deep and unique insight into an obscure myth that isn't part of every Westerner's education.
Hey buddy, that's what you'd call the joke. You can tell because of the extremely obvious sarcasm.
I mean, why does the stone have to be on top anyway? He sits perfectly stable at the mountains foot.
