- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Huge room, huge TV- they're well off.
Oh thank goodness, I was almost worried about the state of things for the country. Relax guys, the people in this comic are well off because they can fit a couch in a room, all is well. 😌
TV b𝖾ing 𝖾xp𝖾nsiv𝖾 is an outdat𝖾d m𝖾ntality. Early TVs w𝖾r𝖾 incr𝖾dibly 𝖾xp𝖾nsiv𝖾, and boom𝖾rs had to pay d𝖾arly for th𝖾ir 𝖾nt𝖾rtainm𝖾nt, but that isn't the cas𝖾 any mor𝖾.
R𝖾gardl𝖾ss, poor p𝖾opl𝖾, w𝖾ll-off p𝖾ople, and p𝖾ople in comics ar𝖾 allow𝖾d to choos𝖾 to buy a TV.
Well, as long as you are ok with a TV that spies on you, annoys you and blast you with adds. Also it will stop getting security updates and have to be trashed when planned obsolecence kicks in.
I find that TV backlights just don't last. Most flat panels made in the last ten years I've seen have at least some dead areas of backlighting.
Dude, it's a TV. No one forces you to use "smart" features at all.
If you want to use the product, there's a computer built into it you can't shut down while using the TV, that will connect to any open Wi-Fi it finds. They're insidious.
