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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean.......yes? That does seem like a reasonable solution to a non-problem. The real problem is the group of people who think they have a need and a right to control everybody else.
It's not a new concept. People trying to control other people is a tale as old as time. I maybe agree with the rat, but I think the solution to the problem may be the Everette True way.
If you've never heard of Everette True, he's a comic strip character from 100 years ago.
His comics all follow a very simple formula.
Then....
Works for me! People want to ban books? Punch them! Or hit them in the head with a book! These are life lessions we need to teach our children!
You are talking to the right person since I'm a huge fan of classic comics. I do know The Outbursts of Everett True, but my favorite one is one of the few where he doesn't lose his temper:
Coincidentally, even though I've known about this for years, this specific strip and the comic as a whole came back into my consciousness a few days ago when I saw it posted elsewhere.
