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.

There is surprisingly little you must do to simply exist.

Surprised at how much my parents hated on me for slacking when now as an adult all I wish I could do was slack more.

So you're saying they were jealous.

So, you didn't do anything. No big deal.

This reminds me of how mad my dad would get at my atrocious failing grades in high school. He would say to me, "Do you want to dig ditches?" In reference to my future job prospects.

Now I'm a tech worker and somewhat of an intellectual and frankly yes, I love to dig. My brother drives a back hoe and is very happy

It's fine to live like that if you'd want to but...

You only have one life, one shot, wouldn't you want to have at least SOMETHING accomplished? You don't need to be a CEO or something rapidly stupid like that, but maybe go and help out the elderly? Maybe even just be around them, talk with them? Maybe volunteer somewhere? Even if it's a soup kitchen to help feed those in need, that would be a life well lived.

Point is: you live only once, do you really want your couche to be everything that you did?
