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'm sure I could learn to read this as quickly as any other clock, given practice. I saw one 45 years ago on the mantel in someone's house. My nerdy teenage friend had learned how to read it and taught me. I didn't have one to practice with, and quickly forgot. Forty-five years later, and I've never seen another one.
This display, as a clock interface for humans, makes no sense in the real world. Outside of showing it to people as a novelty.
If you want a cool clock that anyone can read, get a nixie tube clock.
I fucking love my nixie clock.
Which timeline is it?
Considering current events; way out there
Bioshock Infinite, I think
