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.

Why is it so hard to believe? It's a recurring theme in the comics and something all too real for a ton of students.
Calvin is eloquent, intelligent, and wildly imaginative, but struggles with things like deadlines and homework.
And one of the most delightful. Who hasn't been told at some point, "if you put half as much effort into [task] as you did into [avoidance strategy] you'd have been fine"?
Finally internalizing how much nicer it is put in a little bit of effort in advance rather than stressful scrambling after procrastinating was literally life changing. I don’t think I even realized how much subconscious stress I was under during the procrastination. But my kids are just like “shut up dad”
Thats easy, just have shit short term memory and you'll feel no stress until you're reminded about it.
