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.

The first instance of this joke I remember was in the post-apocalyptic action drama from 2002, Reign of Fire. Starring Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale.

"This is water!"

"It's important to stay hydrated."

Was probably the most funny for reasons the director didn't intended moment of that movie.

This comic is the Garfield for millennials. They’ll hate me because I speak the truth

Garfield is legendary so I’ll allow it.

I don't know why people think it's like a cool thing to shit on Garfield. It was on forever you may not like all of them but I guarantee there's some in there that will kill you. I dunno maybe it's people expecting that a comic is going to be hitting it out of the park every single strip which most are not.

That's probably it then. All the fans keep dying while the haters remain.

It’s that it appeals to a certain generation of humor. The humor tends to be bland and predictable if you read even the first panel, much like this comic. But that doesn’t mean you can’t like it, if you don’t find it bland nor predictable then you are not a lesser person for finding it funny.

No, we'll mock you for speaking nonsense.

Btw, did you mean millenials or Gen Z? Some of us elder millenials are 40 or older now, a fact that Gen X and Boomers sometimes have trouble remembering..

It's very safe, middle of the road humour, that's certainly true.
