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

Yes, my father did. He had the same one for many years at one place (nearly a decade, until he was laid off) then another for many, many years (nearly two decades, until he retired)
I was able to visit the first job as a child and I loved it. It was incredibly cozy. It wasn't decorated with past achievements of what he once was, but some awards and certificates he may have earned in his current life to celebrate his growth. A lot of personalization like family photos, silly pictures, memes (they had memes printed out on paper many decades ago, too!), snacks, projects he was working on, a LOT of computer parts (he worked at a major computer company), a couple nice comfy desk chairs
Other people had different tastes of course. If you've ever been to college where people live in dorms, it's almost the same feeling. Some are bare and kept to the absolute essentials. Others were absolutely plastered with personal effects
The company he worked for obviously allowed that freedom and I can't say the same for everywhere, especially if cubicles are shared spaces with an alternate shift
Those are some very good nostalgic memories for me so I wanted to share, thanks for giving me an opportunity
