This has been me most of this week. Just buried in as much distraction as possible.

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.

Tired of always the same doomsday news. Yees you got repeatedly a conviccted felon with ties to russia as president. Yees, Israel genocides and Russia does next stupid thing in Ukraine. Children are dying of hunger and celebrity X broke up with Y. Comics are fun.
That’s exactly what he should do. He can’t control the world ending, but he can control his own happiness
Of course you would turn to the comics. They are right there and it might be your last chance to read them.
Life is short. Be happy now, in any small way that you can.
The most realistic portrayal of a dystopia.
Off the news, out of facebook and reduced Politics subs by half
I blocked a ton of words and subs and I refuse to engage in this shit. Just LMK when we’re killing nazis.
Hells yeah, trying not to programmatically block things so I don't miss something that's actually important, but you can't doom scroll this @#$%
I am trying the same thing, but politics somehow keeps coming up even amongst my 'apolitical' friends.
Is this sarcastic where the 'apolitical' friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?
Nail on the head. Worse yet, my more centrist friends basically cheered at trump's win. Not so centrist I guess right? What happened to "both candidates are equally bad guys"?
Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.
The meteor and global warming are both the same, still trying to kill people. I will vote third-party for world peace instead.
A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.
I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.
Unfortunately, most people won't understand this and still vote for third party even when third party will almost certainly never win, in the context of present day Murican politics.
But I'm protesting the meteor by not voting!
40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us...
Hmmm... I vote we change the moon's orbit a bit. I'm a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.
That's pretty good. I don't have anything to add.
I voted to stop the meteor. Now I'm reading comics.
That's understandable and not implied by the comic, so you're not targeted by my joke.
"But think of the jobs the meteor will create!"
Also, "don't look up."
Imagine actively voting for the meteor to hit earth faster!
I hear the meteor has a lot of palladium, which should help our economy.
I would like to celebrate it as a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth
ugh don't get my hopes up
Before last Tuesday, I would have found this comic depressing.
Yeah, well... I like comics.
There's a mass without roofs,
A prison to fill
A country soul
That reads comics no bills
A strike and a line of cops outside of the mill
There's the right to obey and the right to kill
Did Garfield eat lasagna again?
