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.

omfg as an engineer SAME! I've struggled with both sides of this somehow. Being a great problem solver gives you some very useful tools, but they're not always the right tools for the job in interpersonal situations. It's taken some time to remember in the moment that venting usually contains emotions greater than the specifics of what's being discussed, and as a partner the emotions are generally the important part. Solutions come easy once everyone's calm, if they're even necessary or possible in the first place.
