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.

I dislike the "So in other words you mean that " technique used in a conversation. Especially if it's not in a form of a question but rather a statement.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you mean that ?"
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion ๐ค Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral โค
.
Don't get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.
Yeah you set that snarky orange dinosaur straight!
Heh. A comic is one thing, but they can be starting points for a comment or lesson well done, received and learned โค
