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.

Spoken like a dog lover who doesn’t get cats. Many… dare I say even most cats would. Not constantly, not in an obsessively needy way, but they do love you and want to be around you and want to know where you are. They do actually care.
Exactly. Cats are extremely affectionate. If we’re away from our cat in another room for a long period, he’ll carry his toy mouse while yowling. Once he finds us, he drops it near us and we’ll get head bumps and tail hugs.
The cats that don’t seem to be affectionate could be for owners that don’t really know how to interact with them properly. Or the ones that just let them roam around, don’t engage them or try enrichment, etc.
Dogs are loving and affectionate by default but cats just need a bit of love and affection back to get there.
