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.

Things in generally seem to be getting worse for at least a decade, especially for those born in this century.

Granted, the whole Ecological problems thing has been going on for longer, though there were some improvements in the 70s (polution controls that stopped acid rain) and the 90s (replacing CFCs and reverting the hole in the Ozone layer) but even some of those things were partially reverted in the last decade or two (the whole Diesel Emissions Scandal is to a large extent about emissions of the very same stuff that caused acid rain and hole in Ozone layer is growing again apparently due to CFC use in China).

As many have pointed out, the reversal of the trend of improvement in the median quality of life is probably because we've reached Late Stage Neoliberal Capitalism.
