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.

Try being more involved in the world around you. Who knows, you might make it a better place.
Can comments just be funny? Why does everyone have to try and make some deep point?

They can be both. Why should all comics be funny?

Words come to mean different things at different times. Ever read a “comic book”? Not all (or most) are funny. Cartoons in newspapers have historically been all over the place in mood but been referred to broadly as comics or funnies. The name implies a format, not a mood.
