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.

This was my issue with comedians in cars getting coffee. Felt like being talked down to by rich spoiled celebrities.
Really? I felt like a fly on the wall listening to pros talk shop. The things they had in common were fascinating - like being on the road in hotels and sneaking leftover food off room service carts in the hallway. Seinfeld said that was how he first got to try key lime pie.
Maybe they changed things up in later seasons? I don't recall the first season really getting into anything like that (and I think I only made it 1-2 seasons in).
I don't have a sense of when I noticed this about the show, probably right away. I'm always alert to that sort of thing, having done some performing myself (at a much lower level) and I relate to some of the experiences. Things they say hit home because they're so basic. Can't think of anything specific right now besides the key lime pie, but I haven't watched the show in probably a year. I got the same feeling once hearing Jimmy Stewart talk about his thought process while preparing for a role - it was stuff I had thought about myself as a beginner, and that felt really cool.
I did like that show for background noise tho.
