- 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).

I mean, I have literally overheard a cruise ship 'tourist' disembarked in Cozumel, Mexico, loudly complaining about the lack of English speaking staff in the surrounding restaurants and stores.
The hilarious part is, just about every Mexican working in that part of the island speaks great English, since tens of thousands of cruise ship morons get offloaded in that same spot 6 days a week.
I've traveled all over this planet. If you're having actual, real problems communicating with locals, it's probably because you're an asshole.
Ah, it is so easy if you speak another language well (or are a non-native English speaker) to act as if you don't know English and avoid shitty people alltogether.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed this comic.
