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.

Panel 1: I know that somewhere my soulmate is waiting.

Panel 2: Meanwhile somewhere

Media Naranja which literally means “orange half” is an expression in Spanish used to say my better half, or my soulmate.

When you find the person who in theory is meant for you, it is said that you have found "the other half of your orange (tu media naranja)".

This saying comes from a myth included in the book “The Symposium” by Plato. This book talks about one of the most well-known myths about love. According to the poet Aristophanes, the origin of human beings had a different form to the one we have now, they were spherical beings! They wanted to attack the gods and Zeus decided to punish them by cutting them in half. Since that day, each part has been looking for its other half in order to feel complete.

Before reading the post body, I was trying to think if I’d ever seen apple orange juice, because I thought it was a weird juice combo thing.. like the joke that apple marketing is fantastic because it’s in every other juice.

So genuinely thanks for the explanation lol
