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.

You can skip tracks on vinyl. Not at the press of a button, but if there's a track you know you don't like, and maybe it's extra long, you can absolutely set the needle down at a different point. It's literally what old school DJs did and do.
Well, I know, but don't tell my ADHD brain that! This has forced me to listen to some tracks I wouldn't have otherwise and made me appreciate the art of album composition. Even if I don't particularly enjoy one of them, it still still combines with the others to become more than their sum.
Oh, also, there are turntables that allow you to skip tracks at the press of the button. But that ruins half the fun of vinyl for me.
You can even see where the song gaps are by looking at the grooves. They are pretty noticeable where they are by the uniform color and groove thickness for a few rotations. No deviations in the groove=no sound recorded into that groove for the needle to read.
Man, I miss my vinyl collection and player. Had a beautiful cabinet tower piece and a few milk crates of albums before life got flipped on its head.
