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.

We don’t let small children cross the street by themselves. That’s because kids have no concept of what a street is, or how dangerous it is. Same for cats, but add in plenty of predators and diseases. Outdoor cats have a much shorter life expectancy than indoor cats.
I think the bigger thing than them potentially getting hurt is the fact that they will hunt and decimate local fauna
It can be both
No, that's because certain societies are okay with roads being dangerous, and would rather lock their children inside than regulate vehicles.
(Unless by small children you mean babies, then agreed.)
But do they actually get to live though?
Gilded cage and all that.
Yep, that's my philosophy. Never had a kid age past ten, but they get to live such full lives wandering around the neighborhood until they get run over
