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.

Sometimes at the drive through they’ll give me sweet tea instead of unsweetened, and the sip of that hits me like a freight train. I don’t know how people stomach it.
Sweet tea, at least proper sweet tea, isn't really about the tea. The tea is just there to add some color and a subtle note to make it caramel water instead of sugar water. It's pure diabeetus juice, but it knows what it is. Like many methodical killers, it has a clarity of purpose that can be acknowledged and respected.
The real question is why are you punishing yourself by drinking unsweetened iced tea? That's just cold dishwater that no one respects.
Because I'm a northerner and we like flavors other than saccarine
Because it tastes good.
Oh I've had a sip of other people's tea before and it had so much sweetener it didn't even taste like tea lol :3
