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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I believe that "demon" and "daemon" both share the same pronunciation. "day-mun" is technically incorrect, though still widely accepted.
no widely accepted pronounciation is incorrect
your Mom is widely accepted
so it "ur mum" and "yo mama"
archaeology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, encyclopaedia, etc.
Those last 3 aren’t American English
so? where do you think English came from?
English carries a lot of information in vowels, making it concise.
In this case, it’s natural for English speakers to pronounce words with different meanings differently, to disambiguate them.
