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.

Meat is back on the menu, boyz!
That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:
Furthermore, from the orcs enthusiastic reaction to meat's reappearance on the menu, we can surmise that orcs were formerly omnivorous and were forced into a vegetarian diet for unknown reasons.
I'm not sure how much of it is speculation and how much of it is from Tolkien's work, but I think orcs were theorised to be corrupted elves. That's to say, they likely still have a reproductive cycle like presumably elves have, they just split off and evolved into their own branch.
I guess, similar to how the work in The Elder Scrolls.
This could be completely wrong though.
