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.

Completely unrelated to your comment, thanks to the internet I can't read the words "both sides" without my eye twitching
No you're right, it's a horrible term that was spawned by the very people who wanted to sabotage our better world. The people who introduced the idea that there were "sides" in a "gender war" are particularly likely to be written about in our granddroid's textbooks as the scourge of our world.
We are wired to be social, to bond with others and mate and raise families and babies and love our little communities. It's not that hard it's just that we've allowed it to become so toxic and complicated because we also have over-developed internal simulators that constantly run simulations of the worst outcomes, and it makes us nervous about how others view us. Bad people have leveraged this fact to make us all hate each other and ourselves.
