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.

My father would beg to differ. Some of the things I've heard: "who's going to take care of you when you're old", "the ~~undesirable~~ immigrants with 5+ children will take over ~~and ruin Europe~~". He also told me I was being selfish when I was barely 18 for stating I didn't want to have children because carrying a child for 9 months and childbirth terrify me. That shit still terrifies me to this day, on top of all the other reasons why I still don't want to have children.
Also, according to him the feelings a parent has for their child are "unexplainable". That must be why my mom and and his mom were more a part of my childhood than he was!
