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.

MODERATORS
Every high civilisation in history thought they would witness the the end, I doubt we are the special ones to do so
Those civilizations thought that it was the wrath of a god or two, or some war would consume everything. We have actual scientific evidence that our completely unhinged and largely unregulated use of resources that natural creatures have no access to is destroying our planet.
If the difference is hard to grasp then I’m starting to understand why the U.S. has undecided voters right now.
No civilization before us has ever caused such massive damage.
They were all right though, if by 'the world' you mean 'the world as we know it'.
To be fair that's valid today too. The world as we know it is ending but maybe there'll be some mad max style pockets of civilization after
Or maybe it's just the 'we' that's going to be out of the equation, which is fine too I guess. Our particular form of life just isn't that important in the grand scheme of things anyway.
Actually we are important. We have single handedly exterminated more life than any other species. We are now on the same scale of importance as the dinosaur ending asteroid.
I wish we weren't. But we are.
Our demise can't come soon enough.
Of course, when you change into "the world as we know it", it was already "destroyed" several times in recent history by things like cars and the internet...
Yeah. Statistically a small vestige of us may well survive to tell horror stories of our coming experiences.
Nah, the microplastics will take care of that.
We are the only ones that can measure it though
But I have so much edgy doomer energy to burn.
Lol so many doomers hier
