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.

Wait, the ~~picture~~ painting of a guy with apple in face really exists?

Here, print it out. Originals are only for making money anyway.

I highly encourage you to seek out the original paintings and other artistic mediums in museums when you have a chance. It's not about prestige, authenticity, or clout. It's about gazing upon relics that have somehow survived the test of time and gleaming a bit of the creator's intentions and skill. It's a human connection that can stretch the breadth of millennia.

Also I used to fix printers so now I have undying hatred of them. I buy quite a few art books though.

Edit: One thing photos, digital image files, and other means of reproduction of most paintings never seem to get right is the texture. Remember a painting is not flat, it's still a 3rd dimensional object. Painting techniques can layer paints giving them texture, it's a visual quality that is hard to appreciate when not in person.
