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.

If you look at my comment, I'm taking about the inability to recognise how long ago familiar things have happened, specifically not realising that something familiar happened a long time ago.
Do you find yourself being surprised that things you are familiar with happened when they happened rather than happening much more recently? Have you not noticed that a year passes nearly every 365 days?
Idk what your struggle with relativism is here but I have noticed that 365 days a year happens every year.
I learned that by the time I was in school.
None of us are ignorant to how many days are in a year, we’re referring to the perception of time.
As you age time feels as if it goes faster, you have experienced more and so relatively time is passing in smaller increments relative to your overall life but taken on the whole they appear more condensed.
People feeling as if distant events are more recent is not uncommon, we aren’t broken, and you’re being awfully weird about it.
