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.

Sheesh Grampa, calm your tits. Not everyone has to relive WWII to feel validated. Participation? What are you trying to do, give him a new experience in life!? Isn't the dread of existence already enough?

While valid, I think the joke is supposed to be millineals and Gen z when they're old. Boomers a while back got up in arms about participation trophies, complaining were roo soft needing trophies for just participating, when they actually had to win. This comic is using the perpetuation of abuse model as a basis that when we get old, we might do the same thing adjusted to our lifetime, hence bragging that we participated.
