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.

Death: Sooon. Sssssssoooon.
Me: Come at me, bro!
Death eight years ago: Fall off a literal mountain while snowboarding and had to climb back out before I froze to death.
Death six years ago: Four stents in the heart because two arteries were 99% blocked and a third 85%.
Death two years ago: "Fine! I cast, stage III Cancer!"
Me, in proper Gen-X fashion: "Whatever."
I'm scared to ask, but how old are you?
51
I'm feeling like I'm doing this in reverse. I was way more terrified of life in my 20's. Now in my 40's I'm way more stable and happy.
can confirm; turning 45 next month, and that's my face when i'm not fighting falling asleep at work
Stub your toe in the dark while fighting through the back pain when you have to pee at 4:00am. 47 here.
Bro.
Bless work from home
Relax, it’s only your impending death. 🤪
Eh. Death is fine. It's all the bullshit before death we call life that worries me.
You gotta remember, back in 1993 the new york times claimed that my generation as kids were the first generation more afraid of living than they are dying.
I'd say as adults now, that's still true.
what are you afraid of
true horror is thinking about living in various way where you would prefer to have died prior to it.
Really? My true horror was that one time I accidentally replaced my Preparation H with superglue.
Man, thats what I call a STICKY SITUATION!!!!
big cheesy grin, and 80s sitcom freeze frame
Then the theme song plays without the vocals, but only for 3 seconds before cutting to commercials.
Ive been frame 3 my whole life.
I'm 29 and have been at that last panel since 16
I burned myself out in high school so I could burn myself out in undergrad so I could burn myself out in graduate school so I could be unemployable at 27.
Without units or context:
Historian: Yeah the 1940s were bad. Meteorologist: 40 degrees is piping hot indeed.
Eh, my 30s were definitely better than my 20s, which were alright.
The body starting to break down in the 40s sucks though. Not too bad yet.
How are your knees?
Pretty good so far. Expecting that to change in my 50s.
Yours?
