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 noticed that this actually varies depending on the target demographic.

The ads targeting the boomers had virtually zero celebrity cameos, and focused on tugging on the heartstrings in some way. The quintessential example was one of a boomer using some Kia SUV's ultra bright headlights illuminate a frozen pond so their daughter can go figure skating
The ads targeting Gen X featured celebrities, but still mainly focused on the products themselves. The quintessential example was that Sketchers slip on ad with Mr T.
The ads that targeted millennials were basically just some lame attempt at humor by a celebrity, and then the company logo slapped at the end. The quintessential example was an ad for home insurance that was just Turk and JD goofing around.
The ads that targeted Gen Z women were massive virtue signals with a huge sense of self importance. The quintessential example was that fucking soda ad that acted like it was solving the obesity crisis.
The ads that targeted Gen Z men were just a bunch of goofy bullshit. The quintessential example was that oreos as with the Trojan horse
