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.

Unions, blegh.
I was forced into a union at my job, and it's horrible. We get tons of time off, full benefits, protection from our employers when they try to violate the contract or do something illegal, and great pay. I'm currently set to retire at 55 years old, with over $10,000 a month income between my pension and 457b.
I mean, what the hell is my $100 a month in union dues doing for me!?
That was me 16 years ago. I was so used to "work hard play hard" that I butted off with the union. They sent goons to intimidate me in the toilet, telling me to stop trying to beat records. I hated unions for years after that. Now, I see why they can be good, necessary even but I'm still kinda scared of them.
I feel like you didn't read the whole of their comment.
Yeah, I was commenting on how I used to think that the benefits of unions weren't worth the trouble. Now I know better. Still scared of goons, but I know better.
