The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I know my grandma didn't care about Pokemon, but I'm glad she put up with me anyway.
I totally did this to my family when I was a kid and crazy for video games. Now I have a kid who does this to me. I completely deserve it.
Is it me or does this person not like their kids? Half of their comics depict them as annoying little shits with no redeeming qualities.
I really don't like this artist. It's not the first comic strip they've diminished the experience of kids.
Pika pi...
I take my eldest son out running with me. He plays sport at a national level (not yet near the international stage) so it's nice to go out to bang in five kilometres every now and then - it's a great bit of cardio for him, and it drags me out to keep me healthy.
Honestly, 25 of those minutes are robloxrobloxrobloxrobloxrobloxfortniterobloxrobloxroblox and it can get draining... but it's important to him so it's important to me.
Honestly, it's just time spent alone with him that makes the difference for me. He's got some big changes coming up in life and I want to be there for him, so if he ever drops that little breadcrumb into conversation that he's got problems with his boyfriend or girlfriend, or if he's getting a hard time off someone, or if the studying and sport is getting him down - then I'll have hopefully made a space safe enough to chat freely and openly, and his mental health doesn't take a battering before it's too late.
One can dream.
Having just dropped a kid off at college, I will tell you: the platitudes you've heard from others the whole time you've been a parent are all correct. It DOES go fast. They ARE the best times. You WILL look back on them fondly.
it certainly doesn't feel like that when you're the only one establishing boundries and they are toilet training and not letting you know when they need to go or they soiled themselves.
any advice is welcome, 3 yo, opposite gender child
My first one is starting school soon, and it already feels like the first years flew by!
It accelerates. Mine just started middle school and I'm glad I'm like the other guy up there. She can and will tell me anything and I'm grateful because in about 34 minutes she will be all grown up and moved out.
Great parenting right there.
I remember as a kid I was so excited when I got a blue chocobo in FF7 (I'm old) I ran upstairs to tell my mother. She did not care, nor pretend to care. Made me a little sad, and what could have been a nice moment did not materialize.
I try to listen to the children in my life. If little nephew wants to tell me about his robots and pokemon, I'll be there and try to engage
Passions are beautiful.
(Am I the only one who wants to know the whole statement?)

It seems to me to be about infinitode, the geometry tower defense game... However I haven't played in a while and some of the words I did not recognise.
Anyone know which game?
Was wondering the same, had to come to the comments to know.
Only to look again and see ROBTOP right on the middle of the last panel
It's Geometry Dash
The one in your phone
I'd guess Geometry Wars
Geometry Dash.
Source: am parent.
I tried it and thought "what is this basic shit?"
10 minutes later and I'm at 60% and grinding towards 61%. Highly addictive but in a good way
I canβt believe that game is still around. Been a minute since I was playing it way back when.
Geometry Wars was the one that was playable on the arcade machine, in the garage area, in Project Gotham Racing 2 on the OG Xbox. Got a proper release and sequels after that. I was a PGR addict as a kid. Awesome soundtracks, online play, and my first racer that wasn't arcade-like or combat oriented (Road Rash, Twisted Metal, etc).
I loved the PGR games. All of them. I was very sad when that studio closed.
When they added locations with local radio stations in PGR2, I thought it was coolest thing ever. Growing up in the DMV, "Elliot in the Morning" on DC101 was (still is) the big morning talk radio show. Hearing Elliot introduce tracks by Bif Naked, Trust Co., and such while racing past local monuments was wild.
I wonder what sort of nightmare it had to be for a game studio to get all the necessary rights. It was after Clear Channel (iHeartRadio) acquired a ton of stations in the US so DC101, Hot 99.5, etc were probably negotiated through a single point of contact. The international stations were mostly independent if I can remember right.
You are a good parent, being repeatedly told as a kid that you are doing something wrong for just being who you are (like in the comic) is doing real damage
Wait, geometry dash lets you play as more than a cube? I dropped it like hot garbage because the cube was boring
