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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
This is actually a great representation of the sunk cost fallacy
It would be if the dog had a good reason to believe that it would get to the bone if it kept digging
Exactly! I can't see how anyone can read this comic and think the dog actually thinks he'll find the bone if he keeps digging. He implicitly agrees with the other dog that the bone isn't there.
