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.

I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.
There's a bouncer at the door, and he's checking all my student's IDs super close. He's bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.
I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says "you're good man."
I never felt so old.
My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my "picture is really old," "I look really young," etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.
I'm always relieved since I carry my wallet less and less. I've learned to keep it on me right after a haircut though.
