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.

I wish they would do this a week ago, so the kids could experience halloween how it's supposed to be, IN THE FUCKING DARK
In France we did switch last week. Almost nobody cares about going out for trick or treat, though.
sounds like you need more mcburgers to fix that problem
You mean royals with cheese
Blame Dubya:

Blame congress too, since they passed the bill.
I was a kid the first year after that went into effect, my computer automatically changed for the time change 2 weeks too early, so I had to have my parents fix it for me...twice. that was my first gripe with Dubya. Then his VP caused my luggage to get lost by seizing up all plane movement at Minneapolis St Paul because Dick Cheney had to take off but then stopped on the tarmac for 20 minutes for some reason while the whole airport was at a standstill for him, making every flight 30+ minutes late. So yeah I've got some personal gripes with Dubya's administration
pretty sure the changing the clock itself hits more kids than the daylight saves but I haven't looked at the study in at least a decade. I'm a proponent of picking one a staying there, I don't care which.
