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.

O say can you drill, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the wellhead’s last gleaming,
Whose drill bits and flood lamps through the perilous fight,
O’er the mud pits we watched, were so gallantly reaming?
And the flare stack's red glare, the crude bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our rig was still there;
O say does that oil-spattered derrick yet stand,
O’er our new vassal serfs and their occupied land?
