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 don't understand this kind of posts, why there's always a version without a cat in it?
To see if the presence of the cat actually impacts the "joke."
And almost always the cat matters not! It's amazing!
The first type of this post I saw was Garfield minus Garfield. That one was more enjoyable because most of the comics just looked like Jon was very depressed and talked to himself.
I'm not sure when Heathcliff got a minus cat version, or if there are other versions. I think it's just a exercise in creativity to see if the comic still is funny/makes sense even if the OG comic joke is different.
I started removing Heathcliff near the start of last year after realizing he rarely contributed to the "joke." There are very different edits of Heathcliff out there. I didn't know about them until after I started mine and found a whole community of crazy.
