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.

If they're the hard pills, you can just cut them in half or even quarters if they're big enough.
Should I schedule my press conference?
This is not always true. Some tablets are extended release and if you break them apart the timing is thrown off. You get a higher dose initially, and the dose doesn't last the intended period.
A family friend learned this the hard way when they were breaking a seizure preventive tablet in half to make it easier to swallow; they'd often have a recurrent seizure about an hour or two before their next dose time.
Maybe I'm making a bad assumption that it was made that big for a reason. It's probably money...
