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.

Wild how accurate this is. My five-year-old is tough as nails because we've never once overreacted to her having a spill. Always, always play it cool like nothing even happened. Smile and make light of it. "Holy smokes, kid! You're like a tumbling monkey!" They'll usually realize it was kind of funny.
Unless they get up and start bawling frantically, they're neither hurt nor afraid.
Exactly this. I think it's important to make a point out of checking that they're not injured, but without exaggerating the situation. If we adults get stressed out, they're more likely to get stressed/scared as well, even though they're not injured and not even really in pain.
Yeah the accuracy is amazing. My four-year-old got hit by a meteor, and even though earth veered off course and billions died, I never acknowledged it and they're A-OK.
