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.

Why is this even funny? Am I really this fucking out of touch?
Yes.
At least it isn't more heathcliff.
Toenail without toenail
I guess, the joke is that clipped toenails sometimes catapult off so far that they might as well have launched out of orbit. You won't find them again either way...
Uh huh. So, it's not really funny if we have to guess like you did.
That’s not what he meant by “guess”, so I’m guessing English isn’t your L1. That’s fine. The thing I am gonna give you stick for is getting so riled up by a comic strip you didn’t get that you’re grumping at strangers about it 🤣👉🏼
If I clip all ten toe nails I would say I'll be able to find 8-9 max! One or two always take off wherever with no chance to be recovered. So i could relate to the strip immediately.
You had a problem with getting the joke and blame it on not being funny instead of accepting that not everyone needs to understand every joke? I literally didn't have to stop and think about this because I got it on the spot. Does that mean it's objectively funny and everyone else will get it on the spot? No, people have their own preferences and experiences changing their perspective and understanding of things.
