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.

Reddit millennials are like this. The rest of us are relatively normal… except for the despondency and chronic depression
Millennials are split into the older and the younger ones. I am one of the older ones, and I don't know what the heck is going on with the younger ones.
Can GenX adopt me please?
Hello fellow “Oregon Trail Generation” person.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xennials
TIL, I'm a xennial. Thx for sharing.
Welcome!
I'm sorry?
Well, before everything happened.
As a younger one, we grew up with social media becoming available to us right at the worst age. Like seriously imagine if you and your parents were allowed on Facebook right as you hit puberty and nobody understood what it could do to you.
That and also growing up not remembering 9/11 but remembering adults mocking al gore for caring if we all die of ecocide.
We’re basically the prototype for gen z. You merely adopted hopelessness. We were born into it, molded by it, we didn’t see a chance until we were adults.
I hate to break it to you, but memory of 9/11 is kind of a litmus test for the Millennial/Gen Z border. If you don't remember it you're likely Gen Z or right on the border where generational definitions get really fuzzy.
I’m 29 so yeah fair
Well that still puts you pretty safely in the range, actually. The typical cutoff year is 1996. I'm 30. You were 7 (or almost 7) but you don't remember 9/11?
Not really, maybe I had more important shit happening at the time.
Might as well. GenX is trying to keep a roof over its brainwashed parents’ heads while its own kids rack up student loan debt. What difference would one more mouth make?
I'm on the cusp between X and Millennial but my moon is in Z.
