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.

Um, ackshully, chameleons don't change color to camouflage. The artist should have used octopuses instead.
Actually the plural is octopoda and they don't live on trees, nor do they party that hard
Octopuses, octopi, or octopodes is acceptable. Never heard of octopoda.
It's actually hexadecapus for a pair of them, and so on.
I have never heard of octopodes. Octopoda is the original Greek plural. I don't think it's just in English though
Yeah, this is just English I'm referring to.

I just realized that the whole conversation was in English. I should of assumed that includes that word, too. How stupid of me
