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.

MODERATORS
I'm really confused by these strips. Are there more panels than the ones we see?
Just keep reading it until it makes sense. Giving up is for pussies.
Glad I'm not the only one
I have the feeling the artist themselves don’t know what the fuck is going on. Which is fitting for the current zeitgeist if you ask me.
Or they say “fuck it”, do a yes amount of drugs and start scribbling. Which probably is what’s really happening.
My guess is that it's a cynical take on optimism and maybe hustle-culture. Whatever people say, it's futile anyway.
But maybe I'm just too dumb to get the "jokes" buried somewhere in them.😁
The joke is that she's still telling him not to give up after he's already falling
that's dumb, that's not even a joke that works in this format
the joke is he's falling to his death and someone is telling him "you can do it [survive]!"
These seem more in an absurdist vein of comedy to me, rather than having or needing a particular punch line
