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.

OOTL with this one. The Onion and Infowars went to court????
Kinda, Infowars/Alex Jones was in court and being ordered to sell off their assets to pay the Sandy Hook lawsuit. The Onion put in a bid along with another company that "Totally has no association with Alex Jones", The Onion's bid was higher than this other company, but the judge basically said "Um actually, no you can't have it" and froze their bid on a technicality
Actually iirc the Onion bid was lower, but would spread the reward more equitably to the victims. The victims wanted it. The company doing the liquidation wanted it, the judge wanted it, but the appeal judge blocked it.
