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 only primal call I have is to fuck. I could not care less about actually having a kid as a result. If anything seeing how having kids has affected my friends ability to do so has made me want them even less.
That's how the instinct works for guys. Then you have a little person to protect and it changes
Yup. Imagine a portable hype beast that loves all the same stuff you do.
No thanks. I'll watch out for other people's kids if I'm around them but I don't want to revolve my life around it.
Agreed. Never had any desire to have kids, still don't. (The wife wants them, though.)
That said, when we had a pregnancy scare last week, my first thought was "well I'm 36; guess it's time anyway".
She was not pregnant. Which was relieving, because I don't think it's a wise decision to have children in today's political landscape. That said, if it happens, it happens. I don't think I'd have a meltdown over being a dad like I would have in my 20s.
