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.

Oh man, Bunnicula was probably the first book I ever chose to read of my own free will, not because it was in my parents library, an assigned book, or gifted to me.
First grade me had no idea what choosing a book would do to your desire to read.
Never read bunnicula, but when I was a kid I was a late reader, especially compared to my family. My mom was 3 when she learned, my brother was 4. I was 7. But once I picked it up, I loved reading, and my neighborhood had a little local library. By the time I was 9 I had gone through all the books in the kids section, and the librarian let me go pick whatever I wanted from the grown up section. I went from reading to stave off boredom to devouring books, because I felt like I had choice. I could choose whatever stories I wanted to read. Like a fucking nerd I chose Shakespeare and a book on mythology, but still. It was the most incredible feeling.
Same! I distinctly remember seeing it at like kindergarten or first grade book fair and going "oh there's no way I won't enjoy this" lol. I ate that shit UP, was going around all week to any 6yos who'd listen like "Dude Bunnicula is SO GOOD go get it before the fair's over for real". Except using whatever words I'd have chosen in, like, 1992.
