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.

Some artists transcend their eras, like Bowie or The Beatles.
Most bands remain in a straitjacket of their times.
From the 70s-80s, Billy Joel is a fair-sized-not-huge "no" for me. So is Rod Stewart, and more or less for the same reasons.
Then some things feel utterly impenetrable and were ripe for parody even in their times, like Emerson Lake & Palmer.
Thin Lizzy, however... there are always some true-blue jewels hidden in the seas of music from their times.
Roxy Music! Roxy NEVER gets old, there's still a freshness to their music, unaffected by nostalgia, even decades later, after countless of listens, they still sound like "now" to me.
"The classics are 'the classics' for a reason. Otherwise its just old shit nobody cares about.
