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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Plastic recycling is a scam, otherwise perfect.
How did we get lumbered with that chud of a packaging material.
Glass: rinse me out, use me again. ๐ช
Metal: melt me down, good as new. ๐ช
Plastic: I can't be shredded and turned into road surfaces without my lid...
Money. It's the consequence of living in a system that prioritizes profit over humanity and environment. Metal is expensive, glass is heavy and doubles shipping costs. So we created a cheap, non-renewable non-recyclable material that we can use once then bury in the ground (or simply create random environmental disasters) for future generations to deal with. Profit today, consequences tomorrow.
