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.

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
