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.

Years ago someone asked me if I’d be interested in converting a web design to code for them. I expressed interest because it was potentially a chance to make some cash on the side.
They show me the design and it’s abysmal, busy, and would be stupidly complex. It was a whole can of worms waiting to happen. They were offering no money though. Instead, they said they’d give me the codebase for the custom content management system they had built so that I could use it for myself. Tried to sell it like I was getting access to something exclusive. I declined because I have zero use for that and I only accept money or an equal exchange of some sort.
The dude’s response was anger and he said “closed mouths don’t get fed I guess.” No, dude. Money talks.
