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.

otoh, that's when the economy started crashing...
[jk, I can do two hours on how Nixon's Vietnam War spending and Reaganomics destroyed the middle class. I just can't resist a good set-up line]
I will never understand how they sold starving people on the idea of giving all their food to the biggest glutton in the village in order to feed off the crumbs he won't leave behind.
A lot of Americans went crazy after the US lost the war in Vietnam. Ronald Reagan offered them a return to a happier time, when everything made sense.
