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.

Resplendent and fungiform definitely are, and I hope slugabed is because it’s describing my mood this Sunday morning rather aptly.
They are. I've seen "sere" show up in crosswords quite a bit. I didn't think "fungiform" was rare, but Firefox's spellcheck doesn't seem to recognize it. "Resplendent" just sounds gorgeous. And "slugabed" is new to me, but I love it.
The resplendent Quetzal is an important cultural icon of Mesoamerica. That's where I've seen the word used commonly.
"Slugabed" is in the Merriam-Webster!
Slugabed I've used before, usually to describe me!
To paraphrase a shower thoughts post from a few weeks back though (not mine), why is going to bed early seen as pious but staying in bed late seen as slothful when the net result is the same amount of time spent in bed?
Stupid morning people took over the world and convinced all regular people that their lifestyle is equivalent to being hard-working.
This stems from the agrarian times when utilizing as much of daylight as possible equaled to getting as much work done as possible.
Consequently, modern studies show that night owls are better scientists and creatives, while those morning folks are better at menial and repetitive jobs. Got em.
