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.

I created an extremely awkward silence at work when someone was like "are you all clapping at 7pm?" (Because there was a thing where people could clap and cheer for workers at 7pm?), and I said "if you really care, you could give them money. They need that more than claps".
Silence.
These were all software developers working safely from home making six figures.
They'll all be there with thoughts and prayers..... and apparently claps. I mean, I know that's what "I" do whenever someone wants money from me.... I'll think about them, pray I'm never in that circumstance, and clap for them. Seems to help.
That's sarcasm..... for anyone instantly seething and spitting foam.
The awkward silence is because they know that clapping is not doing anything useful.
