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.

I’m afraid that I require an explanation.
Google images of "oasis band members."
Got some photos. Still unsure and don’t know why the word mirage is used.
A mirage is an optical illusion, very commonly seen in the desert, and often portrayed as a wonderful water oasis when a person is dehydrated and lost. Of course, the band Oasis isn't standing in the desert either, so it must be a mirage too.
In the desert being starved and dehydrated, it's not uncommon to hallucinate things like water and trees. They are called "Mirages"
Your explanation was helpful. I still don’t know how googling then was clue.
We thought you didn't know the band members, not the definition of mirage and oasis.
