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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.

Until it isn't.
Damn even the metallurgists have to watch out for power creep
Ah, thank you. I was looking for the expression "power creep" to describe this phenomenon. In Japan, we usually call it "power inflation," and I couldn't remember how to say it in English!
I mean, they've been having to do that since the chalcolithic.
Damn Catholics get into everything, don’t they?
That is how our cars manage to convert gasoline into energy.
You fool! I have only been fighting at half hardness!
