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.

I'd love a modern house, with the detailed craftsmanship of old. Who wants a bland white wall? Give me some fancy wood details and comfy furniture with a bit of character.

Best I can do is wood paneling and furniture with mystery stains.

Hmm, that's a hard bargain.

Are the mystery stains in funny shapes or are they just blobs?

As long as that furniture reeks of 50 years of cigarettes you've got a deal.

Heck, I'll take a non-stinky couch if you throw in a wood-grain CRT TV and an NES

Who wants a bland white wall?

Hang some shit on that wall. Paintings. Photographs. Random yard sale taxidermy.

Modern styles can still have plenty of personality. Yes, one of the modern trends is minimalism, but that's not the only modern trend, and there are plenty of ways to explore your own sense of style within a modern sensibility.

I like having a house with really, really good insulation, with good plumbing and electrical up to 21st century fire/safety standards. I like having ducts for my central heat pump and air conditioning.

I can fill in the appearance and style stuff after that on my own.

I want a picture rail so it's easy to hang all them things.

You make a fair point, but there's still sometime to be said about fancy parts that are a part of the house.

Instead of covering up the house with personality, I want the house itself to have personality.

(Of course, there'll be some empty walls for whatever, gotta leave enough space for the family photos, but conveniently nowhere to hang that ulgy 5ft painting your great-aunt-in-law insited you take (she'll admit, but she didn't want it either))
