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.

I love wearing popular merchandise and acting like I have no idea what it is. It sends everyone around me into a fit of despair when I act like I don't know what my Star Wars shirt is.
Tbh though I don't understand buying merchandise for something you don't know about. Like why do so many people but Nirvana shirts yet couldn't pick out a Nirvana song?
I'm not hating I'm just fuckin confused at the thought process.
Tbf, I grew up in the 90s, and I know plenty of Nirvana. One time someone noticed my Nirvana shirt and asked my favorite song. I totally blanked on everything except Teen Spirit and....Rape Me.
I would say rape me unironically and without blinking. That's what you get for asking.
Yeah but at least you know a couple songs. I'm talking about the people that straight up buy merchandise without having a single clue what they're buying.
Like if I'd never used a DeWalt tool in my life but slapped their stickers on everything I owned. Why would I expect any less than people asking me about DeWalt? Why would I get upset about people asking me my favorite DeWalt tool?
How cool does the DuWalt sticker look?
It's fuckin rad ๐
I've done the same, favourite songs are overrated imo. My 'favourite songs' change all the time and half the time I'm just picking a relatively obscure song that I like atm. It sounds way cooler if I say my favourite radiohead song is Kid A instead of Karma Police.
Personally I think it's way cooler to wear shit you actually know about but I get it. It's a vibe.
It's like how I wore skate shoes in elementary school even though I didn't skate or even know anything about skate culture.
At least the smiley logo is far enough away from public consciousness that it just looks like your standard alt/punk rock logo at this point, so many people are likely buying them without even realizing
Good title for a single: I'm not hating, I'm just fuckin'.
My favorite thing like that is "anime is those silly cartoons right?"
