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.

This is nonsense. Wealth translates directly into attraction as a mate. More wealth means more attraction. There's no point at which increasing wealth stops increasing attractiveness. This is true even for the person with the most wealth because increases in wealth still increase relative wealthiness, which is still an increase in attractiveness.
Whoever thinks wealth accumulation is a mental illness doesn't understand humans.
You might have a mental illness.
What makes you say that?
You seem to be worshiping billionaires who would never give one iota of care about you
Err.. what gave you that idea?
The part where you say that wealth attracts you.
Since billionaires are the most wealthy, it must mean you find them super attractive and thus worthy of worshiping.
That's not what I said.
And this is a non sequitur.
You get diminishing returns pretty quickly unless you're a really disgustingly ugly person both inside and out.
If there are any returns whatsoever, diminishing or otherwise, then that's enough for humans to chase after it.
Indeed, humans are pretty ugly. Same with the rest of nature. Look around you. Would you say it's ugly or beautiful when a gazelle is still alive watching a lion eat its insides. Or when a fly is immobilised as a spider wraps it in silk. Humans are no better. We are animals. The same forces are active inside us as in every creature. This is life on planet Earth.
