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.

Many people have more expertise than they know.
You see others who know things and have skills you don't, and think about how remarkable they are. But what makes you remarkable doesn't seem like anything special to you, because you only have your own perspective from which to see yourself.
And this only gets worse as you learn and expose yourself to more. You begin to understand just how much you don't understand.
Meanwhile those who close themselves off from knowledge and learning think they understand things better than they do, so they're overconfident in their knowledge.
They say that intelligent people tend to recognize their shortcomings more easily than those that aren't as intelligent/introspective.
I'm still not sure if that means I'm somewhat intelligent or just have a lot of shortcomings lol
