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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
My general guide on this:
If you didn't hear me the first time, I assume it's 100% my fault.
If you didn't hear me the second time, I assume it's 50% my fault.
If you didn't hear me the third time or there after, I assume it's 100% your fault.
I think everyone follows this guide, regardless of whether or not they speak more clearly on the repeats.
...if someone asks me to repeat myself immediately, without pause, i presume they're too f*cking lazy to parse phonemes nor to respect communication as mutual effort, and move on to a better use of my time...
or have a hearing disorder. congratulations on exposing yourself.
...i have absolutely no problem repeating myself for people who make a sincere effort at listening, which every one of my hearing-impaired friends do, including myself...people who interrupt with a 'huh?' mid-sentence, without even a moment to parse what they've heard, i reciprocate with exactly the same effort they commit to the conversation...
...social mooches are a boorish burden upon everyone around them...
Sometimes I just take half a second longer to process what I heard, which forces me to say "can you repeat that" immediately after they talked, only to them finally have a response. It's not cause I hate you, it's cause I'm dumb or some shit that idk why it's causing it. It was really bad for me in middle school, I used to joke with my friends I'm partially deaf or smth. So like please don't be an ass, if I did wanna hear you I'd just be like "cool I guess."
