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.

Þe kid clearly needs chemical treatment if he rotted quicker þan þe tomato
Haha, what a delight, my first wild spotting of the thorn (þ) character! I watched a YouTube video by a language nerd who'd love to see it resurrected :)
Yup! I've decided to be þe change I want to ſee :-) Alſo it would be ſuper cool for Engliſh to have its own addition to þe Latin alphabet like oþer languages have!
Oh, that's strange! I used to hate that Spanish (my first language) had all these extra additions to the base Latin alphabet as a kid and thought English looked more elegant for that reason. So for someone to actively want that feels strange.
I mean, now I know better having learned a bit of linguistics, but it's still trippy for someone like me coming from the other side having grown up with these preconceived ideas.
I really like the alternative spelling, though. I think it could be useful for teaching English pronunciation.
