- 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.

Today people are obsessed with starting at season 1 and watching all the show. But, not all shows require that type of viewing. I grew up in the times of syndication and cable TV. You didn't get to watch the show from the start. You just hop up on whatever was on the air that day. It's perfectly fine to skip shitty seasons and episodes and only watching the bangers. There are very few series that actually have perfect records where every single episode is worth watching. I don't understand people who endure 45 minutes of awful TV to experience 3 seconds of a dialogue that will somehow become relevant 4 seasons later.
Back then, the way to watch shows was to randomly catch an episode whenever they were aired, because most of them didn't focus on a 36 episode incomprehensible knot of twists and surprises. They were self contained with a quiet background story arc that you could pick back at any time.
