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.

I used to be a huge Kliban fan back in the day. I've still got various t-shirts with his art on them.
From memory:
That last one is one of my all time faves. I would "sing" it to my friends whenever someone commented on my shirt, complete with the standard blues riff.
Another random one (not a t-shirt): 2 cats, one says "Mao", the other points and says "Mousie dung". It was a very oblique, random and context-free reference to Mao Zedong. So random, I think the only point of it was to illustrate the pun. If there was a clever political reference, it was lost on me.
Just looking some pieces up, and wow thanks for the reference. I love this art style so much
