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 know why inanimate objects treated like this makes me feel sad. It reminds me of the Mars rover comic where he's left asking if he did a good job after the radio goes silent.
Quit making me feel bad for machines damn you!
Thanks for sharing, though it did make me sad.
Empathy and anthropomorphization. It's a good quality to have as a person, but it does cause these false positive triggers.
This is my go-to antidote for that one

Especially the alt-text.
Never checked in alt-text. You made my day (:
Here's this again. I get to bring it out every time this sort of thing comes up. It never ceases to be a masterpiece.
Empathy ia possibly the beat quality a person can have.

Or the brave little toaster 😭
Adult. Have to go back to Herbie the Love Bug for my childhood versions. Or plenty of children books that animated things, my first being a vivid one about a lighthouse tugboat lost in a storm. With a companion 45 rpm record that read and sung the book.

I feel really bad about my old MacBook. It was my trusty companion for 10 years, but now it's kind of forgotten and useless.
I tried to revive it a while ago, but it's too slow/hot to be useful for anything worthwhile and it's a real shame. It's still working fine, otherwise!
Old macbooks make great Linux machines!
Not that old, unfortunately.
Linux runs fine, but even when underclocked, it turns into a space heater by just using a browser.
