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.

I feel like a nerd that my first thought was "but the strip was originally named Lil Folks this doesn't make any sense".
Nerrrrrd
It does kind of make sense if you know Schultz was from Minnesota and Minnesotans call all little kids "peanut"
So, "Lil Folks" to "Peanuts" is a really logical choice and people from the upper Midwest might not even notice the difference!
Nah. It was a named forced on him that referenced the "peanut gallery" and he always kind of hated it. But eventually he felt like he had to stick with it.
Edit: nerrrrrrrrrrd
Huh, I guess maybe Minnesotans calling kids "peanut" came from the comic strip, instead of the other easy around. TIL.
Thanks, nerd ;)
