    I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

        That’s actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He’s practically a toddler now!

          Yeah, I mean, I couldn’t even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

      Actually the kid is clearly superhuman and the parents failed to recognize it. No way a human baby could break a solid table leg.

    Can break tables with his soft infantile head

    Cannot ride bike

    Can do weed

    Those parents clearly never “bloomed” either. A baby shouldn’t have been able to destroy a table leg unless it was completely rotted out. The bike tire must have been already bent. Falling off of it in the middle a field doesn’t twist up the front wheel like that. It looks like the front wheel failed and the kid was ejected forward.

    That poor kid grew up in a dangerous household with neglectful parents.

        when the core has nothing inside it, the abs flex inwards instead of doing what they’re supposed to. that was a fun thing to learn.

    A “late bloomer” can live a perfectly happy and fulfilling life if you just support and believe in them the same as you would a bright kid.

    Plot Twist: The parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from the hospital with their new son. While he survived, miraculously uninjured, and was adopted out, the parents became ghosts, unseen, hovering over him for the rest of his life … to reunite only at the end.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
