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.

Same, but not by choice. Lol
But for real, this is hella accurate. It took me a long time to realize that I won't make the same decisions as my father, even if I happen to take a drink or something
I'm surprised there isn't an antinatalist community on lemmy.
@[email protected] beat me to it. I was gonna reply "it's because we don't like introducing new problems into the world."
I can’t tell if I got wooshed or if that’s just really unfortunate wording, because an antinatalist would probably think of having children as “introducing new problems into the world.”
If you create a new community, someone has to maintain it, it needs to be monitored and moderated. It can even outlive the interests of its creator, thus forcing someone else to inherit these headaches.
So, the joke was that I was equating the inconveniences of creating a new community to the way that a child can become burdensome on a community because "well, now someone has to care for this."
It sounds like you completely got the joke and that the real problem here is that it was barely funny enough to make you exhale sharply through your nose. The good news is that no one is gonna fault you for my frequently unfunny sense of humor.
This one was more meant to make people go "hmmm" than "haha."
Man, I love Asher Perlman. He's what happens when you take New Yorker cartoons and make them actually funny.
This is 1000% a New Yorker comic.
Yeah, this artist draws for the New Yorker. Not sure if this is one that made it into an issue or not though.
How about alternating every couple decades to cover all bases. Checkmate.
