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
After guns were banned worldwide the word shoot became seen as a powerfully dark and terrible word while words describing normal body.functions lost shock value especially as improvements in health and diet made the substances themselves less disgusting.
If it was a mild problem he might have said 'shit' like we'd say 'oh god' which was once seen as real swearing. the puritanism based around sexuality and misogyny is long since faded in their future so fuck, cunt, bitch, are all out, but to evoke images of the bloody conflicts and brutal murders of the past is a real shock to the system like 'wow this situation is so bad it makes me want to return to the psychotic olden days when people would shoot each other'
