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.

No, there's usually cultural and/or historic reasons for why the line is drawn where it is
And we don't live in those times anymore. Why should we do what a culture tells us to do? Just because it's culture and/or tradition? That's a pretty dark path to traverse.
Do you think we should stop speaking out language? Because that is both cultural and tradition. Just because something is based on tradition does not mean it's a bad thing.
That also doesn't mean that it isn't arbitrary, though.
