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.

Honestly, best advertisement for the imperial system. With metric you hit 38°C and it’s like “damn, now I feel like shit”, but with Fahrenheit it’s like “Wahoo baby! I did it, I 100 percented the thermometer 🥳🎉🎉🍾 (I still feel like shit)”
40 is bad, 42 is when shit starts to happen and 44 is when permanent brain damage starts. I don't know the equivalent freedom units for these, but it's something burned in my memory after caring for someone sick. I guess it's the same for other people: whatever unit you were using when you were responsible for a life is what sticks.
Oh, it gets MORE fun above 100. I had mono as a teenager and was lying in bed hallucinating soldiers asking me for directions and calling me Sarge. I think I was at 104.1 at that point.
Get back in the field, Sergeant! Your platoon needs you
