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.

on second notes: i have been waiting, uh, 10,480 days to use that pun. i even started cooking fancy french gravies at holiday meals and family dinners. does anyone compliment my gravies? no. they always compliment my sauces so i have to wait.
28.69 (nice) years is a long way. Good gravy.
What I never got about this, was it a common thing at the time for bad food to cause bad dreams? I’ve had plenty of indigestion and related discomfort but I don’t think it’s ever caused bad dreams.
I don't know about common, but it is very much a thing that certain foods can make for weird dreams. Usually, it's food that can really mess with your blood sugar while you sleep, like pasta or sweets, or things that can produce mild discomfort that then keeps your mind a little bit awake and dreaming at times, like spicy food.
Of course there's a huge variety of foods that can have those same generic effects, but needless to say, spoiled or undercooked food can also make for a bit of an uncomfortable night!
You never had Victorian England food poisoning though. If the food manages to make you sicker than the poop river to notice it, I'm sure it was a bad time.
