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.

Cute but what's the takeaway here? Your shortcomings help others?
Inefficiency may have positive side effects to the point of being not inefficient at all, but different
Don't throw away the bucket, think how a little flaw may be beautiful and even useful.
I don’t get it either, does the water holder want to water the flowers? Cause otherwise it’s still a bad bucket
If you're not good at the thing others expect you to do, you may be good at something else.
But you might still get fired for being a leaky bucket? Thus not getting the chance to water the path anymore?
Lol. But that bucket isn't going to get fired because it provides balance and still almost doubled the woman's carrying capacity.
Will get replaced
Yeah, if the woman is lucky.
But the woman in this comic doesn't look like she's rolling in spare money to replace a buck that still mostly works.
(Having to spend time to carry water on a walking path isn't usually a signal of extravagant wealth.)
She probably threatens the bucket with replacement daily, though.
Work harder for the bilionaires to enjoy flowers
Retirement is bad! You should keep working even if you're worn out and not fit for purpose! Keep laboring!
