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.

A guy walk into a bar and pulls out a scale model of a grand piano, as well as a wooden puppet. The puppet immediately animates and starts playing the piano.
After a perfect performance of Mozart's piano sonata No.11, the puppet gets up, bows to the audience and falls lifeless to the ground. Everyone is astounded.
The bartender asks the guy: "That was great! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get a puppet like this?"
The guy hands him an old golden oil lamp. "You see, I found this lamp. If you rub it and say what you want, a genie pops out and grants the wish. Give it a try, if you want!"
The bartender is sceptical, but tries anyway. "I wish for a million bucks!" Immediately the bar is filled with a giant flock of ducks. On the tables, on the bar, on the ground, ducks are everywhere.
"What the fuck?! That's not what I asked for!"
The guy chuckles. "O yeah, the genie is hard of hearing. Did you really think I asked for an eight inch pianist?"
