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.

Is email a meme? Was the telephone a meme?

Don't walk away guys! Use that shit, send me more spam! I love spam! Yes I would like a cruise to the Bahamas. Yes I would love to make over 2 million from the comfort of my home while loosing weight using wegovy! Please send me that virus! Oh you wanna serve your own email server to get out of Gmail? Nah, that's impossible! Pay them 15 bucks a month! It's worth it!

RIP email, and part for the soul of the telephone... telephone, we hardly knew you! First with your spin dial. I did 1 call with spin dial. Then your 3inch stroke push buttons, then your 0.01" stroke push buttons, then your virtual capacitance glass buttons...and then puff! He was gone.

I think they died as memes.

Waiting for the CEO of Disney to try to sell the Live Action remake of Coco by exclaiming that "his name Jeff" and then fail to understand why nobody liked that, to which he'll respond by cancelling something popular on Disney+ and greenlighting the worst fucking thing ever to take its place.

I went to my city's pride parade 10 years ago and this past year, huge difference. Everything is commercial and expensive now and it's just full of corporate floats

Does anyone remember a similar comic about Twitter a decade ago?

This is the way things go. If enough people come to one place order use one medium, it becomes a target for businesses who will squeeze it to death. Enough people listening to radio and this broadcast is brought by... New site that people start to use? Time to insert some corporate messages.

TBH brands probably have more power in creating memes than regular people do. A lot of memes were probably started by brands, such as the spongebob textbook math about footlongs infinitely approaching free as you buy more.
