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.

Meanwhile -
I've heard that the birds don't sing songs to us but rather either tempt mates for reproduction or warn other same-sex birds to come too close or else!
That fact that anyone would even think that they're singing "for us" is disturbing. It's so deeply stupid.
I could assume that many people think X being here (just) for us 🤔
But you have a point.
I agree. When there's no threat to us, it's easy to become self-centered.
A walk in the woods isn't so nice when you're at the bottom of the food chain.
My cats bring me toys because they think I cannot hunt.
With the exception of mockingbirds. Who do it to be jackasses.
I had one in my yard that copied the sound of a tool once, I walked away and then heard it going and of course I'm thinking "how the hell did that turn on?". Of course I go to check and it's off and was just a mocking bird. It then proceded to make that noise for the rest of the day.
