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.

Yeah, I know that that's what the poster is referencing, but I'm saying that the image meme itself is kinda mixing generations.
Like, if one wanted to do a boomer-themed meme, it'd probably be using 1970s-themed stuff. Organic, bubbly typefaces, flat, earthtone areas, something like that. Pre-digital art.
Or maybe earlier.
The fluorescents and stuff is gonna be late for them.
I kinda prefer it though, it's like gen X taunting boomer. Someone calling something "boomer as fuck" wouldn't be a boomer, so it doesn't make sense for it to be boomer styled.
