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.

When manufactures started making black Friday specific items. They are cheaper and worse quality than average, designed to look like but offer lower tiers of high demand products. TVs are a great example, they make versions of regular TVs that are worse quality but look like the year round product. Made to be sold during sales. But of course that creates a floating stock of stuff that will never sell for the price of the regular product, and also have to be made and ship a bit before the actual sale dates, extending the sale over time.
