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.

Just to add - Physical Therapist is what you call someone that deals with the same things, but has y’know a medical license to practice these things.
Kinésithérapeute in french (the good one).
Ostheopathe in french (the quack one).
N'est-ce pas un chiropraticien ou chiropracteur ?
Osteopaths and chiropractors are slightly different kinds of liars.
Osteopathic Medicine in the US is legit though, they go through basically the same training as MDs. There's some philosophical differences but osteopathic doctors are actually doctors.
This is true. For this reason, US doctors of osteopathic medicine generally don't like to be called "osteopaths", to avoid being associated with their pseudoscientist counterparts.
Spanish:
Fisioterapeuta (the good one) Quiropráctico (the bad one)
In English be warned though, osteopaths (at least in America) are real doctors just from a med school that took a different path to get to more or less the same place of evidence based medicine. D.O.s are more or less indistinguishable from M.D.s
My PT referred me to a chiropractor colleague of his, back when I didn't know what a chiropractor was...
There's a word for that, too.
Corruption.
