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.

Plus, when you're done painting them, you can move them around a table with aquarium plants and make "BOOM" and "WAAAGH" noises while occasionally rolling dice and arguing about rules

It really is the perfect hobby

I may have just bought a starter set because I keep making up stories with the ones I've painted with my son.

I regret nothing

Get weird about that thing you're weird about

I want this cross stitched over my mantelpiece

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 months ago

I bet if you asked nicely in !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works someone would make it for you.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago

You had me at "get weird."

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Damn, I need to go plant some trees now.

All my therapists keep saying getting weird about obsessing over all my failures isn't healthy, though...

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

The guru specified that the weird thing gives you pleasure. It is pleasurable to obsess over your failures?

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I keep doing it so clearly it must be.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, obsessing over things often doesn't have to do with pleasure.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Don't kink shame

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As far as I know, cause nothing else is bringing me any kind of happiness. So It must be, right?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. A lot of obsessive behaviors aren't pleasurable, actually.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

psst, its a joke, kind of like the comic

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, I think the comic's pretty legit.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

The comic is a joke wrapped around a fundamentally good point. Your joke is poorly wrapped around a bad point.
