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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I user to think all professional athletes were grossly overpaid but in general it's only the "stars" that have the super ridiculous salaries.
An NFL lineman making $2-6 million a year seems crazy except when you consider that the national leagues are difficult to get into and require the highest level of skill/talent (usually... sometimes you get a real turd like Burfict).
An injury could kill their career immediately, and they're all pretty much speed running an entire 30-40 year career (with salary and retirement savings) in half a dozen seasons.
