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've always wanted to be struck by lightning (and survive with relatively few complications). Not enough to tempt fate. Kinda like how everyone "wants to die," but they never actually kill themselves. Y'know?
........I think you're describing either depression, or masochism.
What? No, like, y'know how we all kinda wanna die all the time- like how we all kinda hope the gas tanker crosses the line and there's nothing we can do about it. Y'know?
...No?
You may need to see a therapist then
...No
You can't psychoanalyze yourself, so you might wanna look into it. Just sayin'. Times are tough all around.
I'm not trying to psychoanalyse myself. I'm saying that I don't think "not wanting to die" is grounds to get therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Sounds a little delusional to me, but you do you little buddy.
Are you confusing depression with call-of-the-void or something?
No
Or like how everything becomes pointless and grey, so you begin cutting your skin so that when the time comes, you'll be ready?
Finally, a normal fucking reply. What's with these sickos?
No idea bro. Burning is also pretty dope.
You can try to get tased and see if that scratches your itch. Most people that I've talked to that have been tased and been pepper spray say they would rather get pepper sprayed again. They really hated the shock. I know lighting would be way more power than a taser but it's something..
I don't wanna try to do anything; I just think it would be a cool story to tell if it happened naturally. "Dude, I was just walking to my front door after work and BAM!" That kinda thing.
hmmm, I get ya.
Thank you
