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.

Never play music for someone unless you’re 100% sure they’ll love it. Otherwise, just give a recommendation and let them listen to it in their own time.
It’s difficult to enjoy something that’s been sprung on you with someone waiting for your validation. Unless you’re drunk or high.
Being on the receiving end of that is the worst. If you really don't like the music, you feel like you need to lie and say it's cool to protect their feelings.
Yeah, I had someone play some Snarky Puppy for me once. Straight up felt uncomfortable listening to it with them staring at me, but said it was alright.
Went away and listened to it again and loved it. Even if it’s good, it’s difficult to get into with someone breathing down your neck.
Once a girl I was dating played Death Cab For Cutie for me and I hated them so much I kinda wanted to break up with her. Years later I got into The Postal Service (same singer) and eventually gave Death Cab another listen and I was like ... shit this is good. Oh well, it is what it is.
