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 know some people have been enjoying the occasional old comic, so I figure I'll sprinkle them in every so often.

I'm interested in how this takes place in one room with a curtain divider, which I think was more common when home sizes were much smaller.

I'd guess in homes old enough to not have central heat you'd curtain off the rooms you want to keep warm and avoid having to heat the whole house.

Now that you mention it, I guess I've only seen this in very old homes. Interesting how that hasn't caught on again with so many adults living in apartments and stuff nowadays.

In small apartments curtains are definitely a cheap way to divide space, or make a single small space more adaptable or modular. I knew plenty of young adults in tiny NYC apartments that used curtains to "wall off" a sleeping area in a studio apartment, or create a make-shift workspace. Heck, I did that during lockdowns to have a work space. Although I did discover the downside of curtains, they do little to dampen sound and (to a lesser extent) smells.
