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 love that we have no idea what the back plates were for.
Maybe species identification, thermo regulation, and display. Maybe also in mating displays.
But we don’t even know how they were on the outside- external feature? Attached to each other? Burried under a truly amazing amount of chonkerness?
I mean really.
Imagine as one might that stegos were basically the camels of dinosaurs, and the plates sole purpose was to keep their fatty backsides from flopping over
