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.

My younger brother literally learned letters so he could type the DOS commands that would launch the games we had on our family PC. This would have been 1993 and he was 5. Guess who now has a successful career in IT?
My brother also learned to read so that he could use the computer. And I learned to type on IRC.
My step-son has been downright reading-averse since forever. During lockdowns and school-from-home, we got him to read by p laying Paper Mario games. He's since grown into Zelda games and no longer fights words on the screen.
