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.

Kind of like how people are like, what ever happened to the hole in the ozone layer? The chemicals causing it were banned. I don't think the concerns about what could have happened should be ignored, as what if no one put in the work, like they had? You know, kind of like climate change?
Tacking on with the most relevant wiki article.

I had no idea there was a term for this. That's quite handy, thank you.
