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.

MODERATORS
I've been hearing "it's make or break right now" for 20 years. I'm pretty sure we were absolutely screwed a long time ago.
Yes well at first we wanted to stop any increase. So there was a deadline for that. Then we wanted to cap it and the earlier we act the better it is. Now we've realized that at 1.5C some nasty chain reactions kick in and we'd really like to avoid that. However if you want to be reductionist about it then yes the time to act was when we learned the basics of this problem in the 1800's.
But the next best time is now. It just gets worse the longer we wait until at some point the planet hands us an eviction notice.
