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 have been a few sci-fi shows that covered the concept of a "virtual reality imprisonment" where this convicted are essentially sentenced to be plugged into a system where they live out a sentence that seems fully realistic and in "normal time" - possibly years - to them, but only hours or at least days pass in the real world.
If we ever get that tech, it would seem to be a good sentence for the truly dangerous drivers and road ragers. Get plugged into the machine, and live a few "virtual" months or years where you believe you've lost your legs, been paralyzed, or killed the family member that's you've been endangering with your idiocy.
