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
It mean an incomplete thought or phrase, in some situation it mean the lack of words, i should make some examples maybe
"They can be used like...
...this"
"I don't really understand... why you did this?" This example show the lack of words for something
It can also mean disappointment/sadness
"I though i was gonna win..."
These are good examples. I suppose I should have clarified that I'm used to seeing ellipsis in literature, but not in interpersonal communication.
I suppose that's what threw me off. It just doesn't feel like a natural way to communicate.
