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.

MODERATORS
Across Europe there's different recommendations in every country, and no evidence of different illness/mortality rates related to the recommendation.
France says tap water is safe for all ages.
If you're in the US, I totally get why you might want to keep boiling your water, but remember that boiling doesn't remove lead.
The US has a water system effectively comparable to the ones across Europe, FYI. That includes lead levels, since it wasn't just the US that used lead pipes.
In most circumstances lead pipes are safe to replace with different materials as part of routine maintenance. It's only very notable incidents where things go wrong that have driven a push for greater haste, since it highlighted the consequences of things going wrong.
