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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You know that various countries have their own currencies? Why would they refer to the dollar instead?
Good lord. Because the dollar exists, and people in other countries are free to reference it without changing their numerical punctuation standards. Other languages have their own spellings for America too, and in their own alphabets. They don't have to switch things up for us.
Don't worry, the American dollar won't be the de facto global currency much longer, so this kind of thing will just fade away. Of course, that means we will have to learn new systems.
