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.

When Skype was new it had FREE calling to land lines. My friends and I would make so many fun calls. So many fun times. Then Microsoft bought it and killed the free calling.
You could do that with net2phone using the internet in 1996. Skype doing it 7 years later wasn't that amazing.
Thankfully, we are beyond long distance phone calls (mostly). In the 80's we did something a little different: traded lists of long distance phone codes and made free calls that way.
