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.

A horrible thought I heard once and can never get out of my mind:
Our bodies originally had horizontal spines and everything hung down from it. Now we hold our spines vertically, but the internals now all hang wrong.
No idea if true (seems like it's simplifying eons of evolution), but it makes me very uncomfortable imagining it.
Nature: Bro, it’s fine. All the other animals will think you’re smarter if you stand up straight. You’ll look really cool too, all tall and hairless and shit. Chicks love that stuff.
I also read that the human baby head is getting bigger while human hip bones are shrinking. Eww...
It's not very true. Our bodies work fine for a good long time. It may be the cause of some of the problems we get as we age though
Incidentally I have heard (no idea whether it was folk stories or science) that kids who don't crawl (some roll and drag themselves and learn to walk very early) get bad backs young
Most of the great apes are more or less upright much of the time
