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.

As a customer, I ask mostly because I want to be polite; it’s also a habit ingrained in me since I was a kid, so it’s totally fair of you to feel that way. But, look, if you’re having a bad day, tell me, and I’ll be sure to adjust myself accordingly and respectfully. The last thing I want to do is be all bubbly/excited/goofy when your mood is not there.
Usually I'm willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I'm on my own at the counter.
