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.

I’m sorry what’s wrong with kimchi, it’s not surströmming.
Some folks are really sensitive to strong odours, like from kimchi. So it's common courtesy to avoid spreading these smells around where there are lots of people in tight quarters.
Probably varies by place and region, but this has been the case everywhere I've been. Except for homes and very cool workplaces ofc.
Understandable, but I never thought of kimchi as having that much of a smell, like, they serve food on airplanes, and food does smell too, and nobody minds?
People mind, I'm sure. But some things are hard to get people to part with, like coffee. I think there's just some cultural inertia, and probably at least a bit of xenophobia at play.
