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.

Absolutely no joke I would watch this all the way through.

The biggest complaint about Hallmark is how they lack creativity and every plot is the same. I feel like the missing piece to their formula is absurdism. Like a love child between the princess switch 2: switched again meets sharknado.

Yeah. I'm imagining Sharknado production levels and Sharknado pacing, but following the Hallmark formula, and with really mundane absurdist details.

Those fragile little precious moments figurines and limited edition Star Trek ornaments need to be a recurring favored snack for the competing love interests who are lovable but wrong for our heroes.
One of those little Christmas village decorations sets needs to turn out to be an undiscovered life saving medication, when ground down to a fine glittery paste. Feeding it to someone's niece gives her the strength to learn to walk again.
Someone's talent for cross stitch needs to solve a decades old mystery about someone else's estranged and now tragically dead parent.
A poorly gifted and then ignored-for-years art set needs to be part of the big "they truly love me" reveal moment.

I think we have a potential masterpiece, here.
