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.

for real tho, this is advice I wish I had about one week into having a newborn.
Absolutely terrified during his first blowout. "Put it allin the washing machine with baby-sensitive detergent" It was about an hour of fear that I just got liquid poo mixed in everything.
Goddamn, did that ever make me respect the washing machine. Detergent, water, and spinning. Cat barfs on blanket? Washing machine. Kid barfs on everyone's clothes during his first real illness? Washing machine. Unknown Substance #1143 that smells worse than it looks? Washing machine.
Don't even need to use anything other than cold water. No colors or shrinking to worry about that way.
I remember those days, having to remind myself that the relief of "whew, it's just urine" is not okay.
I tried the reddit advice of cold water and sadly it definitely left stains that would've been cleaned otherwise

This is excellent
