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
You pronounce the abbreviated form as "Eye Dee" so you abbreviate it as ID. No, it is not consistent with other instances of abbreviation in English, but half of English isn't consistent with the other half anyway.
Also, id is an actual word, so that could cause confusion. The earliest uses of the term 'ID' or 'I.D.' are also from the US military, which absolutely loves abbreviating things and making acronyms for the sake of brevity, even if the shortening doesn't follow the usual rules.
