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.

It's neither; you are just a person of some integrity and intelligence. Nothing wrong with paying more for quality and durability, but if you're paying more to be a walking ad, well... let's just say it's not flattering look. (I get that not everyone are sensitive to these things though, and that unbranded clothes are hard to find.)
I refuse to buy anything with a visible brand - I even remove the neck and washing labels inside of garments. When I bought it, it's mine, it's not [brand name]s anymore. Sneakers and similar shoes are harder to find unbranded, sometimes you can remove sown-on labels, sometimes I even tape over labels with black tape.
It actually makes wearing the clothes a much better experience as well. Instead of thinking that I'm wearing a shirt from [expensive brand], I see the shirt for what it is.
