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.

Hold it, hold it... so vampires' reflections don't appear in mirrors, but most phone cameras don't use mirrors, just like 'mirrorless' (non-DSLR) cameras, the light goes directly through the lens and onto the sensor. So they should be visible on any newer cameras without the traditional mirror redirecting light from a viewfinder to film or digital sensor.

It’s about the soul. Vampires don’t cast reflections because they are soulless. Cameras have been criticized for stealing peoples souls. Ergo, a camera would suffer the same fate as the mirror: no soul to capture or reflect.
But I mean it’s just made up lore. That’s admittedly stretched thin.
And yet.... *points at pictures of Ed Sheeron
