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.

The pitfalls of mixing culinary categories and scientific (botanical) categories. We have to ask ourselves the hard questions: If you were an anthropomorphic fruit, would you refer to yourself with culinary or scientific categories?
I think whether I was a fruit or not, I wouldn't want to operate with the assumption that I'm going to be eaten, so scientific categories all the way. As a human, I like to think of myself as a mammal/ape/homo sapien/whatever instead of wondering which parts of me are white meat vs dark meat.
