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 love saying “Gesundheit” instead of that cultish “Bless you” nonsense.
Well, I know just enough German to tell you that I've got some bad news for you...
Edit: good news, everyone, I'm a dumbass
Gesundheit is short for "Ich wünsche dir gute Gesundheit" (i wish you good health). No bad news there.
wait really? Crap, my bad. I guess about 1/3 of all the German I thought I knew was wrong.
Is it lupus? Oh god, it's lupus, isn't it?
Nah, lupus in German just means lupus
And I speak it fluently enough to know it means “wish you good health” as someone else has mentioned.
It's been my go-to since I was a lad.
