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've got some old polo shirts from my dad's closet that I still wear. The material is sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn't noticeably fade over time. Tiny little logo on the breast, but it's this shade of blue I swear you can't find in stores anymore. Looks good, fits good, feels good on my skin. This shirt is easily 20 years old.

I got to the store to buy a new polo and the logo is practically across my chest. The stitching is already fraying. Fades after the first wash. Paper thin and easily torn. It'll be in the rag pile inside two years.

They really don't make'm like they used to

You can find nice polo. But it's $100+ shirts not sold at the outlets.

You can find good shirts, but polo has gone to shit. And a bunch of the major outlets have gone to shit. You can't find decent clothes at Dillards or even Macys anymore. Its all been Walmart-ified.

And even the boutique brands very rapidly decay, once they cement their reputations as "high quality".
