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 professors do the best they are allowed to mitigate the cost of books. Then there was the guy that required his own book for the class and charged tens of thousands of dollars for it.
Oh and the scratch off code inside the book for the online part of the course which is 30 % of your grade.... So you need to buy the book because the professors sold out on actual education and are getting a cut of the profit from the publishers.
I'm not exactly college educated, but how is that not an ethical violation? Or is there just no ethics in teaching? If someone prohibits me from pirating textbooks through scratch-offs, my avenues for belligerence are limited.
