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.

You know, even as a kid...
Like, I get choked up by a lot of stuff in movies. It's not that I have a tough time forming emotional connections.
But I remember watching that scene as a kid, and thinking it was just....weird. Like, the horse is supposed to be sad, but... It didnt SEEM sad. It wasn't a sad horse thay needed to fight the sadness. It just seemed like a horse. A horse that was really confused why it was there, and in a bunch of mud, and etc.
Like, even at 8 or whatever I remember thinking "wow, I'm supposed to be sad here, but I really am not and neither is Artax"
And I feel the same way watching it since.
I get more choked up on stuff involving the luck dragon. Or maybe the rock biter talking about not being strong enough, etc.
