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.

Don’t forget Angel From Montgomery. John Prine sure didn’t sound like Emmylou, but he somehow wrote just as poignant a song about being a woman, even if its tragedy was smaller.
Yeah I have a "sad" list for when I need to cry. These and Sweet Old World by Lucinda Williams and Road by Nick Drake, because he didn't find a road to take him home, and the stories about how he was so depressed he'd go into the studio and lay flat on the floor to record the songs.
John Prine also has that Sam Stone song, that is less poignant and more aggressively sad but so real sounding too.
