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.

I didn't know eudaimonia or flaneur, I like these! :D
I knew flaneur as an adjective in German, for example when you go on a walk through a shopping street, without any intent of shopping you go "flanieren". Just having a walk, looking at stores and people.
It’s a french word too, though that usually translates more to loitering
Yeah the bottom two are straight up French words.
And they have straight up common English versions, abandon and loiterer.
So once again French getting used to make shit sound fancier than it is, I'm used to it haha.
From a french perspective, it's english once again taking fancy words and pronouncing them like shit :p
Wow, those Germans have a word for everything.
It appears we took it from French, but we have it nevertheless.
