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.

We could shorten it to negative one because that’s six minus seven and shortening things and having to explain them makes them cooler
I'm a school bus driver and a former programmer. The elementary kids on my bus like to say "what is six plus seven? Six-seven!" and I say "sure, in Visual Basic". They don't get it, naturally enough.
Almost like it's imaginary
6-7 makes no sense because the root of 6-7 is literally imaginary 🤯
No, that's the square root of negative one.
