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 sort of thing is so... annoying.

An art exhibition of a fake person having a breakdown who has imposter syndrome that itself proves the depression isn't art to me. It doesn't make me consider the world, or my place in it. It doesn't evoke nihilism or humility or philosophy. It's just... annoying. Marketing depression. Dishonestly.

I say this as someone with treatment resistant chronic major depressive disease. As someone who was first hospitalized for suicide in middle school.

Compare this garbage with hyperbole and a half and their honesty and their struggles and their openness and it's...

Burning a copy of a book you sold to someone when they dare to email you asking for it? Fuck that.

Thank you for your comment. I thought of Hyperbole when I was writing mine. I have the same feeling about how they handled their struggles in a much healthier and constructive way. I've sent people their post on depression before to help explain my own feelings. I'm glad to know it resonated with others as well.

Campbell left a really bad taste in my mouth. It's one of the few times I've been successfully able to completely sever the art and artist. I love the work, but kinda deplore Campbell. I don't really want to give them any credit because they don't even want it themselves.
