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.

MODERATORS
"Taking" blood does give it another extra sinister tinge over what's actually happening.
Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.
There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one's personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there's just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.
Especially when there's all these "adrenochrome" and "vampire" crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.
Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it's restricted to the elite, and if it doesn't then we're negatively impacting the donor's health for no reason.
Oh yeah, I mean, obviously, no contention there.
