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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I’ve tried slathering the inside of our pumpkins in vasaline and they still started rotting within 2 days. Wasn’t worth the unpleasant feeling of rubbing jelly on cold stringy pumpkin insides…
Well shit, I appreciate your sacrifice for the rest of us. Guess I have 360~ days to find a better solution lol
I wonder if generic disinfecting spray might help with deterring bacterial breakdown of the pumpkin? Like lysol spray or whatever
we used hairspray and it worked great
