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.

Why is there a slice of pie on the bed
The artist has “secret” symbols that he hides in all of his comics, and the slice of pie is one of them. By the names in the upper left hand corner is a “3”, which means he’s put 3 of the symbols in this panel. There’s also a stick of dynamite and “O2” (which stands for Olive Oyl).
Oh OK interesting! Thank you!
Here is the list.
Since I learned about these symbols I always look out for them.

Oh neat, thank you!
I've always enjoyed Bizarro, but I didn't know these were a thing. Thanks for the link.
Olive Oyl? My high school chemistry/life science teacher did me wrong!
Some people are really into that
