I don't get what the point of the comic is. Am I supposed to know something before reading it?
Comic Strips
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.

Pretty sure they joke is just that elves live much longer than humans so their perception of 'soon' could be much longer than a human's
Yes. In the story the elf here, Frieren, is travelling on foot with humans across the continent they live on. Frieren often wants to stop at towns they come across to rest, or study something local, or wait for favorable conditions, for anywhere from a year to multiple decades. The humans with her constantly have to remind her that a decade is like a 7th or 8th of their lifetime, even if it's only a few moments for her comparatively.
Girl on the left is an elf from an anime. "Soon" for her may be... A decade or so? No time at all, really
Sorry, anime is "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", if you're interested. Frieren is the elf.
Right, not left
Main character syndrome.
An specific anime, apparently.
Personally I hate when people reference specific media without acknowledging it's a reference in general-media communities like this, but I think I'm in the minority on that. But I also understand the world isn't designed to cater to my sensibilities, so I can't really do much but just shrug and move on
Everybody has seen all the animes.
Well known fact.
Oh shit I forgot, thank you
The bus shall arrive 32 years after the death of Himmel the Hero.
They're just waiting for their lemon-soaked paper napkins.
The next Catbus is as soon as you can imagine it.
Next stop: Little Sister
At least 100 years.
When she starts memorizing a tome the size of War & Peace to pass the time.
"How long has it been?" "80 years." "So no time at all." "Yes, no time at all."
Occasionally, at my bus stop, there will be a mum with her toddler daughter and I don't know, if it's just boredom, but every minute or so, she'll ask her mum "When comes bus?" and then mum responds "Should be coming soon.".
One time, hell was freezing over at -10°C. The toddler, despite full winter gear, was freezing.
And of course, the bus wasn't going to come. But unfortunately, humanity hasn't yet developed the technology to remotely notify people, so we didn't know.
We waited there for 15 minutes, with the toddler continuously asking "When comes bus?". And then the sheer betrayal, when bus did not come soon. She had to walk another 20 minutes with her mum to where the bus was supposed to go...
