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 had a really nice young woman knock at my door today. She gave me a really long winded non breaking sales pitch about a charity for the blind. She was asking for donations and just talking and talking about how important it was, how special it was and how good it was to help.
Then she threw in the sales wrap up ..... it just costs a dollar a day to contribute.
$365 a year? I offered $100 instead and then it led into another long sales pitch that there was no alternate option, it was just $1 a day.
I told her she was losing out on the hundred ... she has instructions to just sign people up with their subscription model.
After half an hour of talking I told her I wasn't interested.
At the end of it all ...... I really didn't think it had anything to do with a charity.
And just think how much of that $365 is for her wages.
Honestly sounds like a pyramid scheme.
Zero. Probably a zealous volunteer.
