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 certainly take the comedic value from this. My dad is a classic technophobe. He believes the phone is there for emergencies only, and if a call between him and me needs to happen, he will get my mum to phone. With that, the two times in the past 8 years I have got a call, it has been an emergency... I dread the day he might phone and just go, "Just checking in to see how you are."
So yeah, there is a comical side to this, which I certainly see.
