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.

Which is according to google translate means She-Wolf in french. I think that would have been funnier it is a word I could find.
Damn, she-wolf sounds so dumb, why doesn't english have different words for male and female for all animals like it does for lion
isn't the stem word for that loup?
Who said that the word doesn't haue "u"?
Was that my Father that went hence so fast?
Ben. It was: what sadnes lengthens Romeo's houres?
Ro. Not hauing that, which hauing, makes them short
Ben. In loue.
Romeo. Out.
Ben. Of loue.
Rom. Out of her fauour where I am in loue.
Ben. Alas that loue so gentle in his view,
Romeo and Juliet, foglio I, around verse 170
...good enough for Shakespeare, good enough for me. No need for a fifth letter!
I'm half-joking with the above, but the word did use to be spelled with "U" instead of "V". Past then both were taken as the same letter. [/trivia]
This is why 'double u' in French is 'Double v'
‘u’ was the lowercase form, ‘V’ was the uppercase form
It was both case and position: for uppercase you'd use ⟨V⟩, for initial lowercase ⟨v⟩, else ⟨u⟩. For example, check "view" in the last line of the excerpt.

LOVE U
NO U
They have no necks
They were born that way, they can't help it. Mods arrest this person
There’s a comic floating around that is drawn where one of the characters eyes float when they are not facing front. Normal eye, floating eye. Creepy.
Lúové.

I love the gender-neutral drawing, very subtle.
You were expecting a tent pole?
