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.

Interestingly, this is a reflection of a natural human phenomen. Evolution taught us to be wary of negative events (being dead is a bad look), and to remember them so they're less likely to get us. As a result, we bias towards negative information because it keeps us alive.

Positive events don't convey much more value than our base drives can figure out (e.g., this food good, can be eaten). So they aren't remembered without effort, and ppl prefer to share info on things that will keep us alive as opposed to things that make life a little more pleasant. It's a shitty system for modern life, but it worked to get us here lol
