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.

This is how German's identify each other at They Might Be Giants concerts. It's bewildering to watch them circle up in formation like that
Shoes. It's in the shoes.
I don't know what the fashion is today, but when I was living in Munich in the 90's, you could tell the Americans by their clothes, and the absolute give-away was the sneakers. Every young adult German wore Doc Martins. When I came back, I visited my family in SF, and we were at Fisherman's Wharf and I saw a group of girls that I immediately pegged as German from their clothes; I walked over and introduced myself in German, and sure enough, they were German.
Hah true, never met one without a pair somewhere
Still? I thought it was just current fashion.
My ex and her entire family had a pair. I knew a few colleagues who'd rock em too, mostly women though.
They're great shoes, after they're broken in. Last forever.
