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.

One of my verrrry minor bugbears is people who show up to 3k or 5k fun runs wearing gear promoting events well above the event's level.
Like "okay dude, that's a nice Antarctica Marathon t-shirt but it's not going to make you look cooler in the Buttfucknowheresville Gala 5k", or "settle down Mrs London Marathon windbreaker over your Kona Ironman tech tee, you're going up against someone with a cotton T-shirt from Asda and thick shorts that are going to build up enough charge to power a small African country".
Big respect to the effort they put in to earn the gear, but who are they honestly trying to impress?
I feel attacked.
But seriously, I just like some of the race shirts. I don't typically wear it for anyone but me, though I do like seeing other peoples race gear. I've found out about a lot of cool races because someone had a shirt.
