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.

Orrrr your Smurf account is for when you’re drunk and you don’t want to try
I wouldn't call it smurfing if you had a separate account for being drunk as it would just put you in a skill level suitable for how you play drunk.
If you're making fresh accounts so you can stay at a lower level then that would be smurfing.
As a fun aside, nearly every game with matchmaking if they define Smurf, it is ANY account other then your main account.
For the one part you are only allowed one account period for match making purposes. All others are smurfs. No expections.
Since Match making systems are unable to hand when the same person plays on multiable accounts. They just break, and it ruins games for everyone.
lol yup that’s a strategy of mine. My inebriated alters are almost always my regular name or username just with the letter J as the first letter.
Once in high cool I was assigned a group with my buddies John, Justin, and James. We came up with the idea to be the J team so from then on in that class I signed all my papers as my J name and went by it as well.
