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.

This is actually due to women being better at discerning colors than men.
Yeah but note this is also a huge stereotype. Like with a lot of differences between men and women, the difference isn't that big and there is a huge overlap between men and women. On average men see a little bit less color than women, but this doesn't hold up on an individual level. And with the huge overlap it isn't by definition every woman sees better than a given man. So depending on the individual it's perfectly plausible the man in a couple actually has better color vision than the woman.
men are also much more likely to be red/green colorblind due to genetic factors; about 10% of the male population is afflicted to about 0,5% of women.
