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.

There are five. White, grey, blue, smiley, pink. The pink one is out of shot in the third panel.
You'll have to forgive Picard. He's been through some shit. Kinda just sees what he wants these days.
That's what I love about the episode so much. It shows that even our heroes can go crazy and be wrong and stubborn and never admit it.
He needs to learn how to count!
The chain of command in that office is out of bounds.
I've watched this episode and have always wondered if it was inspired by 1984
I used to use my facial hair growth to idly track how long I had been in the bush.
I feel personally attacked...
If I might suggest,
The Quarterly Calendar, 4 quarters of 13 seven day weeks, date expressed as Year . Quarter . Week . Day (Hour . Minute . Second . Etc in extended format)
The advantage? Hyper regularity, every date falls on the exact same day of the week every year. Makes it a lot easier to just intuit what day it is.
Note that day 365 is New Year's day, which is outside the quarter, and Leap day is another intercalary set as the year end date. So this year NYD and NYE would both show up as non quarter days appended outside at the beginning and end of the year respectively.
Every time someone suggests a new calendar structure, a software developer has a heart attack
In my defense, this one would eliminate the need to adjust dates year to year.
It kinda does though... just don't ever get sick or else you won't know what day it is when you come back!?:-P
