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.

How do you screen phone calls without voicemail?
I don't answer the phone for unknown numbers. Super simple
Yep, if it's important they'll leave a message. Wait...
If it's important I'll be expecting a phone call or know who is calling me. All that a voicemail does is tell spammers that they have a valid and active phone number that they should keep calling.
"We've referred you to the specialist, their office should reach out sometime in the next 8 months"
Good luck remembering that call is coming.
Which is why they should all be sending emails
"Hi honey, it's me. I'm calling from the hospital, my phone was damaged in the crash. I know this area code is weird, we were only about halfway to Grandma's when we were hit..."
"Unknown number? I'm not listening to that shit, I'm waiting for my wife to call when she gets to her parents house!"
Are these people just raw dogging phones calls?
