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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think what you are calling toys are what I would call addictions. They can get innovative with finding ways to access those addictions, but really they just want that mind numbing, repetative flashing lights and noises. Anything to shut down and avoid thinking, like a bunch of zombies.
Sorry. That's just the rant of a 7th grade teacher.
Well yeah that happens too, but they also use things in ways you'd never expect, mainly with the goal of being fun.
