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 mean, if you're listening to a concept album, then you're really missing out if you're not listening to it end-to-end.
David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" is this rising and falling ballad of an alien who visits earth on the eve of the apocolypse.
My Chemical Romance's "Black Parade" builds up this soundscape of different numbers in an effort to emulate a carnival.
One of my favorite indie bands, the Protomen, have this entire track list that dramatically recreates the story behind the Megaman video game. Their sequel is this very folk-western prologue with some banger original tracks that get so much better as you move from song to song. Some songs lead directly into one another to create this rising tension that ends in a cathertic heavy metal payoff.
I'll admit I'm a shameless fan of Progressive Rock. Maybe this holds less true in other genres.
PROTOMEN MENTIONED RAAAA
