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.

A disturbing number of people think that computers are magic* and therefore whatever comes out of them is automatically not only correct, but the best possible form of correct.
And if they pay money for access to something that runs on a computer, most of them will double down on that belief until it ruins them.
* or logical, or mathematical or some other grand attribute. "Infallible" is a good one.
And you'll get people in high sales and marketing places who know it's a fallacy, successfully con others with it, but also fall victim to it when it comes from outside their sphere of influence.
