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.

That's sort of a version of an old Soviet joke...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_political_jokes#Gorbachev
(I heard a different version with Khrushchev, but I'm sure it was told a lot.)
Wasn't Gorbachev the chillest of all Russian rulers? For some reason that is his image in my head.
He was the most friendliest, from a Western point of view.
But he was also the last, meaning that he presided over the time when the Soviet Union was collapsing.
Yeah, but not the most obedient. That's why the west preferred Yeltsin - and his faithful number two, Putin.
I would guess Yeltsin for most chill. But either way I’m thinking by gorbachev’s time bread lines were still pretty bad.
Well Yeltsin had tanks shoot at the parliament building
yeah but he was breezy about it
