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.

Its a cactuar.
Arguably pre-internet, first appeared in FF 6, 1994.
Internet's older than you think. Tim Berners Lee, the dude who invented the World Wide Web, opened it up to the public a year earlier.
I said arguably because people will argue over exactly what they mean by 'pre-Internet'.
Is your metric the existence of a network transmission standard used by a few university research centers?
When the WWW standard was invented and opened up?
When over 50% of Americans had a home device capable of connecting to the web?
When over 50% of Americans spent an average of X hours a day using the internet?
... etc.

And we were using BBS and college FTP sites with Gopher in 92-93 when we got AOL at our house, but friends of mine had Compuserve or Prodigy even before that.
