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.

Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉

To be fair to the tv, it's not letting you know it's off, it's letting you know it's still on but in sleep mode. TV's are just giant tablets now. If it was off, you'd have to wait for it to boot into its operating system the next time you wanted to watch TV.

I have dumb TV's still with the same problem. It's to communicate that it's plugged in and receiving power. If the TV isn't working properly, that's easy to verify rather than having to worry about the surge protector, outlet, circuit breaker, etc.

The fact that TV's are "smart" is a whole other issue I could get curmudgeonly about.

I have a TV with a WHITE LED that does this and we have to wait for it to boot. Luckilly, no one sleeps on the livingroom couch enough for this to matter.
