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.

Band shirts are usually a good ice breaker for me. Met a lot of cool people and close friends by them talking to me about a shirt I wore. I only buy band shirts of people I really like so it leads to good conversations usually.
I learned to not ask people about band shirts though unless they are obscure-ish. It was fun a few years ago talking to people about Misfits who thought it was just a brand. I personally don't understand why people would wear a band shirt because the pattern is cool, but it doesn't really upset me anymore.
Edit: except shirts that use the Unknown Pleasures design. I saw one awhile that used the design, but the lines made a bird and said "Love" at the bottom. My wife had to escort me out of the store before I made a fool of myself.
Just before your edit, i wanted to write about Unknown Pleasures. I didn't see the bird love version, but lots of other versions and i don't think, they all got the idea from The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy.
It doesn't really bother me, i just somehow feel bamboozled by the sight of it.
I thought about that, but it was in the band shirt section next to a tie dyed Slayer crew neck so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
