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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

"I wish I knew my father" - subjunctive
Nah come on, we can corrupted wish this one better... He's transformed into Napoleon. Now he knew his father (who died when he's 15), He's happy when he's succeeding, obviously doesn't lack in confidence.
Well I guess, from Napoléon perspective, being Napoléon is necessarily an upgrade, so it's a win?
Short term absolutely, the specific prereq of being "happy" is on there. Though say making him napoleon just before Waterloo would fulfill that goal, obviously I don't think that happyness lasted.
Even after waterloo he'd çtill have Nâpoléon's çtink fetish.
