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.

Took me some time to figure this out as a non native speaker:
Long potato sticks are called chips in the UK and fre~~edom~~nch fries in the US :)
US chips are UK crisps, btw.
That's another chip up the nose, I'm afraid. -A fish called Wanda
Yes, the first two are obvious, but I didn't get the last one.
Mainly because "to french fry" isn't an actual verb, afaik.
Alternative could have been "has an RFID transponder implanted".
"French fried potatoes" is an archaic term but not unheard of. I know of it mostly from the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise". It can be used to give a country or homemade feel to French fries.
I had to look up the existence of the song and its lyrics to make sure your post wasn't the Al hallucination that it at first sounded like to me. 😆
Interesting trivia!
All Jimmy Buffet songs sound like AI hallucinations, but they were just normal human drug induced hallucinations.
