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 like these comics bc they're surreal. Why is the kid talking about puppets? Why is the old man looking up? Are the all puppets in the hands of an angry god? Is the old man in the chair seeing Cthulhu-like eldritch abominations using inner vision? Is the old man in the kitchen about to feed them all poison because they are cult members and they want to join the Space People in a flying saucer and thus escape the Cycle of Puppethood? None of these interpretations are "funny", but they're interesting to think about.
(If you don't like them that's OK, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise, I'm just explaining why I like them.)
I love these comics, written and without Heathcliff because they are absolutely inane.
