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.

I just moved to Miami 1.5 weeks ago from the North East US, there's a massive Cuban (and Hispanic in general, but mostly Cuban) population. I'm a guy and I've seen this other guy get off on my floor and he lives close to me (it's a huge building), like once before. We get off and head the same way. I introduced myself and asked what his name was. He has a strong Hispanic accent and said something I didn't understand at first, so I asked him to repeat it. It sounded like he said his name was Jenatin so I repeated it as I heard it and he just said "yeah" and we parted ways. It wasn't until I got in my apartment that I realized he was probably saying Johnathan and I felt like a smacked ass ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
It happens man! Next time you see him just apologize. Then again that might be the Canadian in me that makes it seem so easy.
Yeah, next time I see him (it's been a few days so far) I'm gonna be like "Hey!Jonathan, right?" and go based off of that.
