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.

Different wish granting entities different rules
A Djinn's wishes are meant to serve as a lesson about understanding what you actually want while Shenron's limitations are more about keeping any mortal who can summon him from stepping beyond their bounds, especially since we now have the super dragonballs implying significant limitations on what regular dragonballs are capable of in comparison.
Honestly it'd be interesting to see a comparison of wish granting powers to understand what their limitations imply about their roll in the story.
The DragonBalls probably roll infinitely better than the lamp.
The lamp is a classic D2
No wonder those balls end up in the deepest holes
Aladdin should have wished for the Star Rod from Paper Mario. Instant story breakage achieved.
