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
I think it's closer to learning binary and Boolean logic as the precursor to programming, learning about transistor circuitry as the precursor to that, and learning more fundamental electronic circuitry as the precursor to that.
We use assembly where it's appropriate, people build digital circuitry where it's appropriate, people still build more basic/fundamental circuits where it's appropriate. Learning the etymology of words is interesting and an important part of history and anthropology, as it helps us piece together how people in the past interacted. Again, I agree that it's kinda weird to make a competition out of spelling. All I'm trying to say is that one of the side effects of spelling bees is that more people learn about the etymology and history of words, which is neat.
