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.

My mother has a PhD, has lived in three continents, at 70 was still windsurfing and skiing, plants a ton of shit, has written two books, has always painted, and had her works in exhibitions... And has two children, and six grandchildren.
It's you who sets your goals and limitations (mainly)
"(mainly)" doing the heavy lifting right here
Yeah, one can't exactly control being born in poverty, health issues, accidents... the list goes on. It's true though that you can still try with whatever you got. Climbing a tree is not reaching the sky, but it is off the ground
This is also True.
She does come from an upper middle class family in the 1st world, so she didn't have to overcome poverty or major disabilities, but she did make the best of opportunities, and worked her ass off. Millions of women in her cohort were perfectly OK with being a housewife.
*if you get lucky and have a nice spawnWell, my sister is nice. 1out of 2 is OK, I guess ;)
Why are you taking about your sister?
They're jokingly interpreting "spawn" to refer to offspring, or children, opposed to your intended implication of circumstances of birth.
I’m not a native speaker and not the best at English so 😵
Ahhh, no worries, that's totally fair! I'm glad I over-explained it then 😄
