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.

During the pandemic quarantine, I took up the guitar, after trying to learn as a teen, 40 years before. I've played every day since, and have become proficient enough at fingerpicking to entertain myself.
Most evenings, I sit on my front porch and pick for an hour or two, running through my repertoire, practicing some new ones, arranging songs, and improvising, as I watch the birds and animals around the pond across from my house prepare for their evenings. I know who they all are, the crane couple (George & Martha, they're my friends), the squirrels, the hawk, the eagle who swoops by occasionally to snatch his dinner out of the pond, a heron, the black racer snake that lives in the bush next to my porch, etc.
Picking a guitar on the porch at sunset is one of life's greatest gifts. That's my Maserati.
