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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I find it interesting that US folks seem sometimes to forget Brazil as Latin American. They'd first bring up Rosalía as Latin Music than Anitta, clearly confusing Latin American with Hispanic
Most US citizens probably couldn't point to Brazil on a map, have no idea that they speak Portuguese, couldn't name a single Brazilian or Latin artist, and couldn't tell you the difference between Latino/Latina and Hispanic.
You put a Brazilian next to a Venezuelan and they're more likely to be described as 'a couple of Mexicans' than a Hispanic or Latin American.
The language divide explains that neatly. I don't consider Portuguese as Hispanic, personally.
