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.

Also not everyone had a fucking piano
Yeah, I was going to say, unless there was a mysterious time period when grand pianos were a product of mass consumption, first panel is like the 0.01%.
And even then. I'm sure some people played music in the evening (including more accessible instruments). More than today, sure, maybe. Some might sing once in a while to, why not.
The full-on family choir around an instrument every evening, as a thing that happened widely, is where I'm calling bullshit.
But you don't need music to sing
