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.

Who said that the word doesn't haue "u"?
Romeo and Juliet, foglio I, around verse 170
...good enough for Shakespeare, good enough for me. No need for a fifth letter!
I'm half-joking with the above, but the word did use to be spelled with "U" instead of "V". Past then both were taken as the same letter. [/trivia]
This is why 'double u' in French is 'Double v'
‘u’ was the lowercase form, ‘V’ was the uppercase form
It was both case and position: for uppercase you'd use ⟨V⟩, for initial lowercase ⟨v⟩, else ⟨u⟩. For example, check "view" in the last line of the excerpt.
