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.

100% this.
Too many parents have things they wish they could do or wish they were good at, and their logic becomes "I wish my parents had forced me to do this when I was younger, so I am going to force my kid to do this even if they hate it." Growing up in that sort of household sucks, and just causes resentment.
Good parenting is supporting your kid's interests, while being upfront about expectations. If your kid wants to do art, support their endeavors but be clear that it's not an easy field to make a living in if that is their goal so as not to set them up for disappointment later in life. Make sure it's something they want for themselves first.
