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.

They spent years broadcasting the contest without a license and people loved it so much the state broadcaster even held voting just for fun. They only got an official broadcaster booth in 2012; before that they snuck their commentators in on press credentials!
In 2013 they submitted a short video about how much Australia loves eurovision that was played during the contest.
In 2014 they were invited to send an interval act, and they knew they had to really do it if it would get them an invite to the actual contest! They sent a good song and were invited to the 2015 contest! It was supposed to be a one off, but they keep getting invited.
Yeah, I love that story. To me, that's what Eurovision is about.
