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.

Adam Savage has this ideology that if you start a new type of creative hobby, you buy the cheapest tools that has the functions you need. Then when that tool breaks, you buy a nice and expensive version that will last.

Because you have proven that you will use the tool enough to break it.

A lot of markets are filled with tool shaped trash that will actually stop you from doing anything. Especially when you're not already extremely knowledgeable, learning can be a problem when you don't know if the problem is your or your equipment.

And looking for a bigger price tag doesn't help, because the trash makers have figured that out and covered that market as well.

This works great for a lot of hobbies but not for some. Some hobbies you certainly don't want your main tool breaking on you. But it kind of applies you don't need the top of the line to start with but at least opt for solid quality over fancy features.
