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.

I think it's also ability to learn and ability to extrapolate and correctly understand the lessons learned. A fool (one lacking wisdom) may see the car going the wrong way down the one way street and conclude that it's not a one way street or that traffic rules don't matter, whereas the wise person sees it and concludes that sometimes people will ignore traffic rules and so they shouldn't entrust their safety to the assumption that everyone is following them.
The fool loudly proclaims that they have "arrived" at knowing something, while a wise person will always stay curious!
Fools think themselves wise, but the wise know themselves to be fools.
