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.

It‘s not completely arbitrary. New year is after the shortest day for daylight of the year.
You're thinking of the Winter Solstice, which was on Dec. 21!
How can a flat planet have people living on the bottom. Stop promoting such nonsense.
Aaand... they're gone forever
Which was before today or not?
I think Brazil and Australia would like a word.
I can't speak for Brazil, but here in Australia we're too sleepy to care right now. Happy New Year.
They took over the celebrations during colonization. Do the natives even celebrate New Year?
