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'm not going to act like slang back in the day was top-notch all the time. But the "slang" from the last 5 years has been just extra lazy. It really feels like a sad, sad attempt to get like a "viral" word to trend; it seems really social media forced and not natural like it used to be. There's a reason slang stuck around so long (and some survived) compared to this. To what end, I'm not sure, but idiots still post "first" on youtube videos... so, idk, a race to the bottom, I guess. That is to say, this "slang" is gammy.
