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.

My gaming days are behind me it feels like. I get into stuff with my kids here and there, but my love for gaming kinda went away, and that's okay.
I got into reading big when I was a lifeguard. I worked at pools that nobody came to, and so I'd just read. It ebbed and flowed in my 20s, but I'm 37 now, and reading is my go-to leisure activity. I'm big on fantasy because I guess I want to escape reality, but there just isn't really an activity comparable to getting into a good book.
So this certainly isn't to dissuade any sort of gaming, I did play BG3 and loved it, because I played the shit out of BG2 back in the day. But I will wholeheartedly stand behind your suggestion to others, if you aren't a reader, take it up. There are so many worlds out there that you'd never think of.
