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.

I know, I feel bad. One of the favorite things I used to say back in the frumpin' day was "Dude, it's the internet, you can cuss here".
Then slowly over the years, site after site after site after site after site started implementing rules against profanity. Not even in a somewhat sane, reasonable, or consistent way either. Which made it all the worse.
And now, annoying as it is for me personally, I just bite my t0%#$#gue and move on.
Still find it incredibly ridiculous that you can get banned from a certain R-word site for using the R-word, but calling someone or referring to them as a "cocksucker" is apparently perfectly acceptable.
I remember an MMO that had a profanity filter bleeping out parts of words with asterisks. I was so confused and frustrated why I couldn't talk to other players about ****ysing whatever it was that needed ****ysis.
Yeah, they had a mechanic called analysing, their own filter made it impossible to talk a out and 13 year old me didn't understand why it was censored. Talk about sane and reasonable.
