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
The first one is amusingly obsolete on several levels. If Sluggo had a device with internet he'd have something to read without having to go anywhere, and of course the strip isn't being displayed on paper.
That reminds me of the weird way the opening of William Gibson's novel Neuromancer has become both obsolete while also taking on a completely different meaning-
He wrote it in the 80s, so he meant grey and snowy. Now it would mean a blue sky.
I'm old, so I envision the static first. I'm actually curious how many young'ns would get what he meant, since static is still commonly depicted in cartoons and games.
Out not-that-old Sharp tv does fake static on unused HDMI sources. I think I prefer blue though, the static gives me PTSD from being a kid without cable TV living in the woods in the 80s.
