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.

this is what motivated me to switch to pdfs/ebooks. i can now read any of my books on my phone/laptop whenever i want with no planning required. although i know it’s not for everyone, and i am missing out on building up a cool bookshelf.
Buy the paper, pirate the ebook, cool shelf acquired
This is what I do as well. Just know that you will still get judged by "real book people" for having a bookshelf of pristine, unread books even though you've read all of them.
I don't invite judgemental assholes into my home
Yes. With an ebook reader, I can now not read the 500 books I carry!
I mean, there are just too many to choose from!
That's the reason I don't bulk upload books to my Kindle. Because I know I'll be spending way too much time thinking about what to read next. Instead I only acquire books when I'm done reading one or close to it. And I only get more than one when they're in a series.
I do the same with any kind of queue, put stuff in it then never follow through because there are too many choices.
I worry about my rather irreplaceable ebook reader. So sometimes I don't bring it out of fear for its safety. I should have a hard shell built for it.
Irreplaceable? They don't make it anymore and can't find a suitable replacement?
