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.

Nit-pick time: I think the verb phrase "(to) work out" ought to retain the space between "work" and "out", even where the derived noun form is hyphenated or has no separation at all.
When the gerund becomes "workouting" and the past tense becomes "workouted"*, I might, begrudgingly, accept the lack of a space.
* or "workouten" I guess, if that old way of forming past tenses becomes fashionable again.
I have a similar pedantic issue between log in / login and follow up / follow-up.
