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.

Football is boring as fuck

Things become more engaging as you learn about them. Baseball, bowling, US History, math, gardening, opera, coin collecting... the more you learn about it, the more interesting it gets.

The folks who are really into football tend to have stories they know about key players and coaches, the evolution of certain plays, and the history of the arenas that make watching a particular game or series of plays more engaging in context. Folks who are tuning into the Super Bowl without really following the season or cheering for a local team that made it to the Big One are picking up a drama in the last chapter. And if they don't know the plays or the players or the stakes or the underlying drama around the various franchises, of course they aren't going to be interested in the conclusion.

Its like picking up a copy of Romeo + Juliet, flipping to the last six pages, and saying "Shakespeare sucks, who cares if a couple of teenagers kill themselves?"
