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.

If you are homeless for a month you could buy one book!
I worked part time at minimum wage (if I worked a graveyard shift I earned an extra dollar per hour) and typically earned around $600/month. When I had to go to the doctor, I'd typically have to go down to a bowl of ramen a day to save enough money for the copay and prescription (if there were meds prescribed). The university offered some insurance, but only for emergencies. If I recall correctly, it listed some payouts for major emergencies and losing an eye or something would get you a payment of less than $1000.
