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.

I know a guy who back in the day would get genuinely proud of his like count. We went backpacking together and when we got back he posted a bunch of pictures of our trip. Then next time we got together he kept showing me pictures and saying stuff like "check this out dude, 300 likes on this one picture!". I was pretty oblivious as to why that was so important to him. I knew he didn't have 300 friends IRL, so he was placing a whole bunch of importance on whether or not a bunch of strangers on the internet "liked" his picture or not. I had posted a few pictures of our trip too, and I tagged him in the ones he was in. He got upset that I was "leeching off his 'friends' for likes on my pictures". I was genuinely baffled. He didn't want anyone tagging him because that meant his "friends" might "like" someone else's posts instead of his.
