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 is good, although I notice only Latin America got included out of the western hemisphere. (US is 11. 1.
The 21st century seems like a repeat of the 20th. A terrorist attack sets off a world wide war, a global pandemic, an economic boom resulting in major crash, sufferage given to repressed minority groups, and the rise/popularity of far-right movements. But we are only up to the 20s, so expect in the future: -A long lasting economic depression due to deregulation and over-valuation of companies in the 20s, -Isolationism in the US -Economic issues in Russia due to war -Election and control of counties given to far right movements/dictators. Cap it off with a world wide war starting next decade where nuclear weapons will be used. (quarter to half billion dead).
Now you say this as a prediction, buuuuuuut.........you just described Russia's whole existance for like.......the past 1200 years.
And in about 80 years we'll get another Band of Brothers.
