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.

The "now" of this comic is actually 2014, almost a decade ago.
Wonder what the actual "now" cell would contain today. I guess a screenshot of this comment about it being a decade old.
2014 wasn't a decade... ago, oh my fucking god.
As far as I'm concerned, it was the 90s about a month ago.
That's it, I'm going to my local skate shop and buying a skateboard. Electric of course, because my knees are fucking shot.
The fact that there are still skate shops proves my point. I truly am 2 Legit 2 Quit.
It'll be this https://xkcd.com/1683/
But how to decode that data. Better hope they find some info on character encodings too.
That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.
That explains why there was no 2010s panel
TikTok, and not being able to break away from it
It would contain just a big "E"
Deep fried memes were also 5 years ago though
No, not deep fried, surreal or absurd
Same thing, but on a phone :v
That's the point of the comic, it would basically just be the same panel with more ads each time. We're caught in a techno-cultural recursion.
Think about the difference between pre-smart phone and post-smart phone. Now think about the difference between the last generations of iphones.
2010's = You show your IRL friends the cool fresh meme you found
2020's = Endless doomscrolling to escape a dystopian, sick & crumbling world
2030's = 💥 💀
2040's = The Missing Decade
2050's =
