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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

One of my little ideas for 'fixes' for political problems has been 'if you get voted in, you have the job for life, but can be fired at any time,' as in out of a canon, at a brick wall. Better keep those approval rates over 66%. Donors come and go. The canon is forever.
that sounds kind of like reducing vehicle accidents by affixing a very sharp spike pointing at the driver's heart to the steering wheel. it might work, but it's not worth the risk. sometimes politicians have to do unpopular things. it's like taking a potassium pill when your level is low. it helps, but damn if it isn't unpleasant.
