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.

I'm 35 and I can still count on one hand the times I threw out my back. All of them happened when I was a full time trucker and didn't go to the gym.
I had to do the brakes on my car. Squatted down before even starting to work and promptly threw out my back
I'm 22
I had to move house and overpacked a lot of boxes with heavy books and tools. My form of "carrying" was to press the box firmly into my stomach and lever the weight onto my back and then hobble like a crippled zombie with the box.
Naturally had no problems doing that for several hours. No, what got me was a month later when a lady asked if I could carry her baby stroller up the stairs. I did it no problem, and then I walked away in tears.
It took 2 weeks to get over the pain, I could barely sleep, and going to the toilet was a chore. I cured myself with a morning door stretch and by twisting back to wipe myself on the toilet. Both fantastic stretches no joke.
Significantly older and never have had it. I don't do gym, but am fairly active.
My father has gotten to 70 without significant back pain, though he started to get some hip pain a couple years after retirement but started walking and that seems to have gotten better.
Good genes are a nice stroke of luck
