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.

MODERATORS
All of these comedians who whine about not being able to say things, and being so brave to go ahead with their bigoted material, all just wish they were Lenny Bruce. Lenny was funny, said the truth, and while some stuff wouldn't fly today, he was very progressive for the 50's, and early 60s. He literally had police camp out his shows to arrest him as soon as he started saying something they didn't like. He was actually getting beat-up by police, expelled from countries, and making land mark civil rights law, because of his routines.
The show actually captured a fair amount of that. Interesting. Thanks!
Nice, haven't seen it myself, glad that came through.
It's a fantastic series. Only draw back is that it is on Amazon.
