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.

When I was eight, I remember being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I joked, "hmm, a triceratops." Nobody registered amusement at all, and I couldn't figure out why. Were the other kids unable to appreciate my mastery of the absurd, or were they saddened by my evident brain damage? Either way the joke is on me, I grew up thrice as horny.
You may not be a triceratops, but at least you managed to be a horny toad.
That joke is probably as lame, if not even more
Yeah. The problem with people not knowing when I'm joking never did go away, though. For instance, that story really happened. And Trevor if you ever read this, laugh at people's jokes you fucking weirdo.
Come over to Germany. We live the dry humour.
I have toyed with the idea, after moving to the UK a few years ago. There's an odd appeal to living in increasingly severe cultures. Germany, then perhaps North Korea, Switzerland...
One of those things is not like the others.... Never liked Switzerland myself.
So, more like a Styracosaurus maybe?
