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.

We used to be a lot more complicated than that. We'd draw X's around the paper for mines and sometimes a river in the middle with bridges across it. Your tank didn't explode if you hit the river but you got stalled there until you would back up and cross the bridge. Hitting a mine was the death of the tank. At one point I was thinking about making a book of Tank maps to sell but then video games took over.
I say still do it! I think pen and paper games will make a comeback.
