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.

Nah, China had a civil war that spanned WW2, it was only after that that Asia became a manufacturing base for western companies.
Before then western countires did their own things in factories.
Think of all the toys that contain plastic, from lego (1949), to barbie (1959), to most electronics, they didn't exist as we know them today prior to WW2.
Before then toys were mostly made of wood and metals like tin, and were made more locally and nationally. People had jobs in factories over here, rather than over there.
To cut the story short: before ww2, it was local children.
We need to go back. I was destined to die horiffically in a factory accident, not waste away at a desk.
