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.

Helen of Troy? Oh, don’t even get me started on her! She didn’t just cause the Trojan War—that was her warm-up gig!
The Crusades? Helen. Napoleonic Wars? Helen again. Both World Wars, the Cold War, Star Wars, Cola Wars—every single one is her fault!
Honestly, if she’d just stopped wishing for wars, we’d all be riding unicorns and eating ice cream for breakfast by now.
Thanks a lot, Helen.
Unironically, i read an interpretation that said that that's actually in the bible.
In the world's beginning, people lived in perfect harmony but then Eve ate the forbidden fruit and that made her fertile and they had to leave the garden because they were overpopulated. But the fruit was so sweet because it promised the seed of greatness, of imperial might and of progress. So that's what the humanity set out to achieve through its journey.
