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.

You know how they say "kids are resilient" but really it leads to them needing therapy as adults?
I'm convinced a lot of the random physical pains of old age are the delayed effects of those childhood injuries we jumped up from and immediately forgot.
Partially so, but a lot of adult pain is due to bad posture, and weak muscles from lack of exercise. (Weak muscles don't directly result in pain, but it does mean that stuff like "looking in the mailbox weird", or sneezing, or lifting something off the floor can result in stuff going wrong.)
Children's bones are more flexible since they are still growing. So they are able to take a beating more than adults.
That is why kicking toddlers is fine! /s
"someday, I want to go to the moon!"
"why wait?" punts
Kicking toddlers is not fine. They're heavy, have weird aerodynamics, and you're likely to throw out your back as a result.
Here I am kicking small humans just coz it's fun! Didn't realise they could take it so well!
Don't kick the baby!
Kick the frog!
A buddy of mine was talking to his doctor not long after he turned 50 and he was complaining about some random pain. The doctor told him "You know all that stupid stuff you did when you were younger? That's what hurts now."
I’m dubious if a doctor would say that. That could be dismissing types of arthritis that has nothing to do with injury.
Additionally some injuries don’t just immediately stop hurting when you are young. They can linger and get more fragile as you’re older.
The ones that don’t hurt later like stubbing toes, sure. That is realistic. Getting mowed by a car, not so much.that would stick with you.
That is 100% the truth.
