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.

I'm middle aged now and I never lived in or near a big city ... always lived in small towns close to wilderness areas where I am most comfortable. I worked mostly as a labourer all my life ... seldom for a company and mostly in all that time for myself mainly. ... and I also have to admit during a time period where work and money was more available and within ones reach. Work was more plentiful and housing was more affordable.

It meant I had freedom of movement and freedom of time ... but it never meant freedom with money. I live within my means and I live very low key and I also don't have children so I only support myself and my wife. So we live in a modest house I bought for little and fix myself and own cars and trucks that are all used.

I can't imagine what it would be like to live in or near a city in this day in age ... I would probably not survive and just end up being one of those guys that know how to build a shelter in a dumpster and find food scraps from warehouses and restaurants.
