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.

A lot of the frustration comes when they try to make something like that but fall just a bit short. From the top of my head, Yamaha HS8WI means studio monitor with 8 inch driver, W is for white and I stands for built-in mounting points. But then, HS8S is a completely different thing entirely. Or sound cards, where a lot of manufacturers follow a naming standard that goes something like 2x2, 2x4, 4x4 etc, where the first number is the amount of inputs with latter being the amount of outputs... until you get to 18x20 where it typically means it has 8 inputs and 10 outputs, but with an ability to connect 10 more ins and outs via ADAT, which in practice means you can just buy the same unit twice for a 16x20 setup and wonder where the 2 missing inputs are.
