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 always find it interesting how some parents do this weird “don’t touch my daughter” but mix it with “give me grandkids!!”… like, you can’t have it both ways.
Throw stick! No take! Only throw!
Ah, but the doublethink is the point! Add in a lil religious hypocrisy, and oh baby you got a Southern American stew goin.
These occur at different life stages for children
Teenager years, "Don't touch my daughter." / "Don't impregnate anyone."
Mid twenty and later, "Grandbabies please."
Maybe they're just really pro-adoption (not enough to do it themselves, though)
Nope, not at all. My parents berated me until I was 35 to "wait until you're ready to have kids." Then they were like, why are you waiting to have grandkids?! You've been married for 5 years!!!
their daughter can have kids, but only in a mary and joseph kind of way
Not with that attitude you can’t.
