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.

Yeah taxes suck and being a kid was fun but I wouldn't go back. Being an adult is so much better.
Yarp i like being an adult, it's the part about the world being poo and the assumption that it's responsibility to fix it that I'm hatin'.
I'm fine with taxes but i should still have hopes! I should still get to do fun! It's not fair that the fun got all sucked out! It's all been sucked out! And it wasn't even too terribly long ago.
I hear lots of stories (i bet y'all have too) from people who have worked any job for 10-20 years about how much more fun or at least laid back it used to be.
Being an adult should be fun. I should get to, with my adult freedoms, do the things i dreamed of as a child! I don't need to have the white ferrari testarossa from Miami vice but i should have the house and a nice life where i can take a month or two off every year.
Yes i should Bygawad!
Ok to finish my very serious missive, It's not being an adult that's the sucky part, it's definitely the poo world.
Hey move to Europe friend. I have 5 weeks vacation (going to negotiate for more this year) and bought my house 3 years ago. It was an arm and a leg to be fair but my monthly mortgage payments now are sub 1k for a family home.
My wife and I both work 40 hours but could drop to 32 if we really wanted and still be comfortable. Most families I know at least one partner works part time.
Woah that's a cheap mortgage. What country?
Unless you have a complicated tax situation it only takes like an hour or two to file taxes anyways.
Being a healthy adult with a stable job and no kid is the best time I have ever had.
