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.

Mine was "darker than a black cat in a coal mine at night" but I think it's just easier for hicks with an accent to say. Far less racist than the other ways they would say "dark".
Oof. I'd never even thought about it in terms of race, but now you mention it, I have to wonder if I ever heard it in that context.
... and, not that I remember, probably have. sigh
Haha yeah sorry... I spent to much time in some backwater places in the south and Midwest parts of America and heard it a whole lot.
Heard it used for other things too... But one use stood out above the rest in my memories.
