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.

The story about how Apple got its name is basically that.
The original employees were brainstorming what to call the company. Steve said just call it Apple. Everyone hated that idea. Steve barked back and said if none of you can come up with a better name than that, we’re calling it Apple. And the rest is history.
I don't think that's how it happened. Their logo is an apple with a bite out of it because it represents knowledge, you know, like Adam and Eve taking a bite out of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
That logo came later. This was the original logo:
