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 have cancer and diabetes, and aside from the premiums insurance costs me a minimum of $4,250 every fucking year, plus stuff they refuse to cover.
And I found out the hard way that you're better off dead than getting air medivacced, a delightful experience I've had twice.
The first time I told the ER head to just let me die. The cost of a hundred mile flight was over $80,000.
The second time, this February was over $143,000, but by then I had gotten air transport insurance. Which of course initially denied the claim.
In the U.S. you are just meat that is harvested for money.
For that kind of money I would start a new life in a normal country and have decent healthcare.
Back when I was on reddit I had seen few people who had left america for other countries mainly in the Europe region because america is a shithole
I'm seriously considering it when I finish university. I love the idea of freedom etc, but the reality of such a system is hell on earth.
