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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

So why only the thorns? Why none of the other typological changes in English? Like the great vowel shift and such? Written language is an imperfect tool to represent spoken language, which is an imperfect tool to represent free human thought. Where in this bastardization of a bastardization we call language do you draw your arbitrary line?
Because if I went as far as I actually wished, I would hear no end of it from the sudden conference of armchair linguists explaining why me typing how I want is wrong and I should stop everyþing and go back to "normal" writing because any alternative deeply offends ðem for not catering enough to ðeir expectation of passivity.

You don't already? Every single comment I see from you is having the same conversation about why you're doing this.
Talk how you want. The only issue I see is that others won't understand you, but you're not hurting anyone doing so. Just don't get upset when others can't understand you.

Well see ðat's ð þing, I only get mad at people who see my writing and lash out at me first. I do usually end up blocking ðem after I say my peace.Fair enough. I'm at least impressed with the commitment.
ÞY!
