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 wish this was true anymore, but I was the the grocery store today looking at how the 6-pack ramen noodles are now $2.56. I can remember when they were a quarter. Not a quarter of 2.50, but just 25 cents.
$.16 when I was in college. That's $.42 in 2025 money, so same price with inflation (from 1989).
I mean, that's fair, I figured it was probably close to inflation adjusted, but it's still absolutely mad to see. I'm finally beginning to understand why my boomer dad would go around having a fucking stroke at all the prices in 2007; I think at some level, your frame of reference for what something costs gets stuck in whatever it was in your teens and early 20s.
