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 classic by Fil (famous Berlin comic book artist), boiled down by me (it's originally a whole page, so I cut some stuff out, changed some things around and did some mild recoloring).

Translation (it's all in a very thick Berlin accent):

Didi: Stulle, know what I ask myself every now and then?
Stulle: Guess you're about to tell me, Didi.

Didi: Sometimes I ask myself: Who are we? Where do we come from? And where are we going?

Stulle: We're Didi and Stulle. We're from Berlin's March district. And we're walking to the 127 bus stop.

Didi: Could you repeat that, but this time a tad slower? I have to write this down.

Phew! It's been nearly 30 years since my last German lesson, but I thought I should have been able to read more than I could.

It wasn't until the last panel, where I noticed "Ich" spelled "Ick" that I wondered whether it was written with an accent.

Thanks for the translation!

It is a bit hard to read even for native germans. Its a written down version of berlin accent, similar to the scottish english posts (from twitter or tumblr) i see around here sometimes.

Another classic as a bonus.

Sadly, this one can't be translated, because it's a twist on a German word play:
