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.

Well, this is certainly the Good Place at least:-).
I was thinking of the Twilight Zone episode and short story but I enjoyed that show too.
I wouldn't be even a tenth surprised to find out that the name of the later-made TV show was designed as a partial homage to that exact episode that preceded it.
Though maybe not, as the concept seems to describe something deep in our psyches, and appears in so many shows & songs (e.g. R.E.M.'s shiny happy people), and I would bet that the Twilight Zone episode itself was either based on or at least was was preceded by some ancient story written or told hundreds of years before it:-).
