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.

Aunt went to a Catholic school, they made her switch. It's not just a middle ages thing
Public schools in the 70's forced me to be a righty! Teacher even said something stupid like it's evil. Made me put my crayons in the right hand. Is my hand wrighting ledgable... Nope! Never has been.
I'm a lefty but my teachers never knew how to handle a lefty so my handwriting is also illegible. I had to go do handwriting basics ("colour in the enclosed area of the A shape") in high school.
So mileage may vary even if leftyism is tolerated. But look at me now teachers! I type obscure commands all day and get a sore hand when I pick up a pen! Checkmate!
That’s pretty cool they gave her a Nintendo.
Catholic school is just the middle ages with extra steps!
My sister, too. That was the 80s.
So she's middle-aged now?
How dare you attack me this way
My friend had a teacher do that in public school in the late 80s.
Wouldn't be surprised if there are still teachers who do it today.
