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.

Back when I was a kid my mom read Herman Wouk's The Winds of War -- and it took her my entire childhood to do it. She only read when we were on vacation, which was only like one week a year. I'm not entirely sure she ever finished the book. I'm also waiting for her to finish the sweater she started knitting for me in 1978.
I once read Shelby Foote's The Civil War, all three volumes. It took me years, longer than the actual war. It's very good, but it's densely written, and of course the subject matter doesn't really make for "light reading". There were times I had to put it down for a while.
