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.

More artificial divisions to keep us occupied and distracted.
We have this fixation on generations. I think it's more to unite our own personal identity with change. This is supposed to happen at age related milestones and the social roles we take as we age. However, this phenomenon has been hijacked by media cycles of "eras".
Generations were a fad in the 90s where you'd hear something about some such generation every day. Then for the most part, people stopped talking about this pseudoscience nonsense. Although, like horoscopes, they never really went away. But I don't get how we're back a nearly useless model of behavior being a daily part of conversations.
I'm pretty sure that for as long as people and their offspring have been separated by ~20 years, there have been generalized complaints about the older and younger folk.
Yeah, probably way back in the day Gronk was complaining in his cave about the kids and their new fangled inventions like the wheel and housing.
And how, if living in a cave and walking everywhere was good enough for him, then dammit. it's good enough for them!
Did you know they don't even believe biggest rock is best rock?
