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.

Hey Sisyphus, do you have that TPS report ready yet?

No surprise but damn, Sisyphus got jacked

From now on when I think of Sisyphus I hear the version from Hades and am reminded of his positive attitude.

Zagreus: "Sisyphus, how can you stand it, being here like this? You always seem in such good spirits, though."

Sisyphus: "You push old Bouldy here sufficient times, and you might get a different outlook on things, too. With the Furies all preoccupied and with my running into you from time to time, I'm positively doing great lately. I like to take what pleasures I can get!"

One must imagine Sisyphus happy

Ah, I see he went into QA

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 10 points 8 months ago

I'm in QA, and agree with this sentiment. Can't wait to get back to dev work

He likes pushing the rock. It is how he decieves the gods a second time. Now he will panic but then learn to like being the best office worker ever, because he always wins and loves effort
