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.

I guess they have stopped teaching it at some of schools in the United States. The kids that don't know it are really passionate about why they don't need to know it, to the point of calling it stupid. I made some arguments in a post about it a week ago and they're adamant that they don't need and don't want it. Obviously I think people should still learn it, but I don't sit on a school board.
I think cursive is a low priority on a list of increasingly important extracurricular topics.
