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 generally invent something based on a small part of my mental imbroglio. Like that I don't look like I hide something, and I don't feel like a liar.
When i met my now best friend 10 years ago, she would always ask me what i'm thinking about. Probably because i'm really good at just starring around. It was never annoying, because she genuinely wanted to know, and it wasn't just trying to make conversation. I always said: "nothing".
One day we were in a café and my mind was wondering off and she asked again. For some reason i didn't say nothing, i said: "see that guy on his BMX with his red shorts?" "On the shorts, it says: Deez Nuts. Deez Nuts is an Australian Hardcore band, and they have a song called "I hustle everyday" In the music video of "I hustle everyday." The singer has a calendar with the headline "Hustle". And he crosses off every day. Because they hustle every day."
She smiled and said: "got it." And i don't think she asked again.
