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.

Skip the gift cards, go straight to cash.
Same here ... if I'm gifting to someone under the age of about 8 years old, I'll them a little toy and some cash ... anyone older than that is just getting straight cash.
I'm not spending time to try to figure out what people like or dislike or whether or not they're following some latest trend ... take my cash and do what you want with it ... and for teens, they combine all the cash they get and get one big thing they want which works out best for them.
Sort of the entire point of gift giving.
Which I understand and appreciate ... any other time of year or maybe on birthdays, I'll take a bit of time to try to remember what the person likes and what gift they might enjoy. Usually, we'll be doing something and the person will mention something like 'I like that', 'I wish I had that' or something ... then it's easy to just buy the thing and gift them that shortly after.
But during Christmas, it's really hard to try to figure out what a bunch of different people like or not like ... it usually ends up that you'll mess up on most people and get it right with a few. Which is why I settled on just cash.
