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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In German, the fruits you would put in a fruit salat are called Obst, in contrast to Frucht (fruit) / Früchte (fruits) which can be 'anything' complying with the botanical definition. You'd refer to tomatoes and paprika as Frucht-Gemüse (fruit vegetables).
A salad works, but isn't it easier to just snort it? :^)
Sorry for the shitty joke above. Seriously now: after a quick check, apparently the cognate of "Obst" still exists in English, as "ovest". Nowadays only used dialectally for nuts like acorns being fed to the pigs. It would be fun if it was reintroduced as "culinary fruit", following the German example, and keeping the Latin borrowing "fruit" for the botanical def.
