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.

If we ever develop Time Travel and time travel tourism we'd have a load of people going back in time and screaming that it's "woke" because it doesn't match their exact idea of the past.
The opposite is also true; ancient Greece now has a cultural reputation for being very progressive when it comes to homosexuality, but... If you actually read the kinds of things Ancient Greeks say about it... I mean sure, they mention gay a lot more, but there's a lot of making fun of gayness.
Imagine going back in time to touristically "immerse" yourself in the "progressive" ancient Greeks, and all you find are rich people and states owning slaves and everyone making fun of gay people.
I mean, if we developed it tomorrow, sure.
I don't know how, but I still have hope that at some point in the future, the majority of people aren't idiots. And then we manage to get it to stay that way.
There are two constants in life; idiots and death.
