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.

Sorry, I grew up on 1980s video games. Only nerds and losers read the manual.
You didn't read them in the car on the way home?
So did I and everybody read the manual, those who didn't just rage quit after five minutes because games were fucking impossible beyond the most basic racing or sports games.
Your loss. The manuals of yesteryear were amazing. Better than the game, generally.
If I read the manuals, I wouldn't still be saying Mario jumps on mushrooms and turtles and I like it that way.
Spotted the rich kid who didn't buy 40 games on one tape, each with an one-line description
Oh no, mine were fully pirated bootlegs. Even the commercial pirates knew to keep the manuals included though
Neat!
