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.

Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.
George Carlin
After college, I realised this after working in a stressful job. Much of what they teach us in school about being on time, wearing uniforms, obedience to authority and meeting project deadlines, it is to prepare us for the cut throat working environment and conditions. Of course we have to be taught common manners, how to be polite and all other basic things, but a lot of it is to train us to be efficient and unquestioningly obedient workers. The legacy of Prussian education system still lingers.
