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.

But what if I mess up on January 2nd? Then I get permission to not try at all until 2026. That's way easier. I can just overeat for a whole year and try again next January 1st.
Honestly, every time I have successfully dieted for any meaningful length of time, it just started on a random day.
Last time it was a random Friday in February. I stuck to it til the following September and lost about 50 pounds. I've put a lot of that back on, so maybe today's the next one.
All successful habits start the day you decide to do them. If you plan to start them in the future, they're way less likely to succeed.
(The above based on nothing but my own gut feelings and experience.)
