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.

Remember having stacks of boot floppies for each game so you could optimize memory allocation depending on the need?
Lolol stacks of boot floppies, what a casual. I had custom config.sys and autoexec.bat with a boot menu for various configurations.
Ah yes because some things needed eXtended memory and some needed exPanded memory, and some things didn't like drivers being loaded into high memory and some things didn't like other things to be on certain ports or interrupts haha.
This game requires EMS memory to be allocated, and this other game requires XMS memory to be allocated! Hold on, gotta edit my AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Some of us automated that shit.
There were times when writing batch files was more fun than playing some of the shitty games I had back then.
Still suffix my paradox games' run commands in steam
