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.

It's funny how giant corporations realized before the median voter that cooperation is better than competition. Not good, obviously, but funny.
Some would call it "collusion"
I used to work as a consultant for Comcast at their HQ in Philly. One winter day my boss from the consulting company called me and said we were going to go meet with Time Warner Cable about writing some software for them. He showed up and when I put on my coat he said "what are you doing?" We then rode the elevator up to the floor where TWC had a fucking suite of offices ... in the Comcast Center. This was a couple of years before the merger attempt, and leaves me still wondering why that merger failed when the companies were effectively already merged.
There should be an additional panel with a shaped labeled as the FTA giving a thumbs up
