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 don't understand why people use doordash or food delivery.
Especially people with limited funds.
My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.
Definitely financial illiteracy.
I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I'm ok with tipping but not the rest of that.
Also, it's ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It's not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.
Same!
I grew up poor and had to stretch every dollar. I'm a highly paid engineer now and I still look at a $10 delivery fee with disgust.
And do people not realize that on Doordash, they charge $1-3 more per item? So your $12 pho bowl is $15 on Doordash.
Price discrimination ,how they treat their contractors, and contractors eating your food, fuck that noise.
