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.

Remember kids, if you aren't born to wealth, NEVER follow your dreams, unless they are marketable, soul crushing dreams that can be exploited to fund the dreams of your economic betters and their largely useless children.
Know your place, ants. You only exist so kids like Wyatt Koch can grow up to do this:

I think that's buying into the mindset that capitalists want to project onto the lower class. Don't dream, don't strive for equality or equity, those are reserved for us.
If we don't follow our dreams it erases the very possibility of a brighter future. I think even sarcastically appealing to this kind of thought is dangerously reactionary.
I'm the son of a poor immigrant, dropped out of highschool at 16 to work full time. I started going back to school and working nights, continuing to do so until my residency.
It took longer and I had to work much harder, but after a certain point in a lot of fields, its fairly easy to out compete the rich kids. Most haven't had to work for anything they've ever had, and so they don't really have a true calling or any kind of work ethic.
We really do need /s for sad sods like you. The comment you replied to is dripping with the stuff.
"I think even sarcastically appealing to this kind of thought is dangerously reactionary. ”. And you need to work up on your reading comprehension........
