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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Don't discount that we're all much more influenced by the extremely powerful, corporately owned media propaganda macine than any of us would like to believe.
I think I was trying to make the same general argument. Words are so much fun, aren't they?
But, yes - us Yanks don't realize we are the most heavily propagandized people in the world. Take something like the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of school, for instance; in Amerikkka, normal. But everyone else finds it creepy and unsettling...
