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.

Story time:
I live in philly (as in Philadelphia, PA, USA) and there was some chemical spill last year, they gave out an alert like
"Water is safe until 2PM" then minutes before 2PM, they issued another emergency alert saying "Water is safe until 11:59PM"
🤨 (kinda sus how they change words so quickly)
And on top of that, they said "There's no need to buy bottled water".... sound familiar?
Remember covid and there was a whole "There's no need to wear a mask" debacle in the US?
🤨 (yea nobody is gonna trust the government)
So... Everyone is just afraid, and brought every case of water they could find. Like the whole "Tri-State Area" just completetely empty of water. We got like 10 cases of water from a friend in NYC who bought it on our behalf, because my family is just extra paranoid.
Felt like Flint Michigan.
Nothing says thriving country like a major metropolitan city not having reliable, clean water.
Sad US Empire noises
