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.

Discrimination and all forms of bigotry (racism, transphobia, homphobia, etc.) likely invalidate this image/thread title in some part.

People aren't always worrying about random strangers, but when it becomes a pattern in an individual person's life that has very real consequences and effects, it's very easy for them to feel like the spotlight is on them and it could very well be in certain instances. It's gaslighting them to suggest otherwise as a blanket statement.
