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.

Wait, caffeine actually keeps you all awake? It usually just makes me more tired. I only drink it to keep the withdrawls at bay.
The Internet suggests that caffeine might be interfering with your adenosine receptors, and may actually be making you more sleepy.
Try tea occasionally instead. It has other compounds that can offset caffeine effects, even if it also contains caffeine. Or try decaf coffee and see if it paradoxically causes you to be more alert.
What kind of tea do you recommend that's not green tea?
I'm British, so black tea with milk (or substitute) and some kind of sweetener to taste is what most of us (and most of Ireland too) go for.
As for which black tea, we don't really consider that unless we're at least a couple of levels into serious tea drinking. Most supermarkets sell own-brand and name brand tea bags that we gladly grab every time we're in a supermarket, but what's in them is generally a blend made for taste more than anything else.
I am not sure how tea purchasing works in other countries. Sometimes what we drink is called "breakfast tea" or "builder's tea", if that helps.
