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 used to have an alarm clock app that would require you to solve an arithmetic problem before it would shut off. Obviously, to solve the problem, you had to type in a number; as such, when it went off, it would turn on the display with a numpad visible.
Very frequently, it would go off, but I wouldn't fully wake up and, seeing the numpad, would think I was in the middle of dialing a phone number.
Trying to finish a number I never started rarely worked.
