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'm going to paraphrase Adam Savage.
I am mediocre at a lot of things. But the way I combine and use those skills are what make my skill set unique and what makes them great.
I like that, some YouTube video i came across had the sentiment that it was ok to be a renaissance man, jack of all trades kinda deal. I liked that a lot since i have a few different hobbies and im not particularly great at any of them but im good for the most part.
Made me feel like i didn't have to be perfect and it was cool to just be doing stuff.
I'm in an engineering field, and I can tell you this absolutely holds true.
I've been very average in my own specialty of electrical engineering, but because I've taken the time to deep dive into mechanical engineering and controls/automation, I've far surpassed my peers career wise.
