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.

Yeah, this can be a generational cultural difference.
I mourned the death of my grandfather three separate times when my mother texted me "please call". Each time when I called back I learned something different:
If these were all in the same day that's quite the series of events
Lol. Different days. But at least I got to get through a few of the stages of grief early.
The last time my dad called was 16 years ago when my mum was bleeding out after surgery and we didn't know if she was going to make it.
Other than that, it's WhatsApp messages, and they're usually about the dog.
I would 100% think someone had died if my dad called.
If not death, at least something horrible has happened. The last time my dad called me, it was to tell me he wasn't actually me or my brothers biological dad, lmfao.
Imagine if he said that by message ๐
"Not your daddy, xoxo."
