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).

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.

So, pieces of bark actually talk like cavemen! I had no idea. Phones no work in dreams, bob!

Unfortunately this is reality for some of us who are technologically challenged. I gave up trying to get my smart phone to work years ago. My new android TV is now trying to download something, says there isn't enough memory even though there's nothing "saved" on the TV, and now locks up every time I try to use it.

So guess who gets to go buy ANOTHER new tv. I had to throw that one out, and it isn't even six months old yet.

The newer the technology, the less user friendly and the less able to work well. Of course a big part of it is me - i just don't know how to deal with this crap, and the cell phone TV and computer know it. AARRGH.

The tv thing is not your fault. They sell you shitty products so you'll have to throw them out soon.

The best thing is probably a dumb tv and a seperate device for android stuff that can easily be replaced if it starts acting up.

Oh and smart phones are a great way to waste time and spend less time with your family and friends. So you're probably better off without one. More time to read, watch movies, or enjoy your hobbies.

You're right about that, they plan for the product to break within a few months. That I'm sure of.

Finally my TV somehow downloaded whatever update it was trying so hard and struggling with. And now it's installed, it's much less easy to use than ever. Slower than molasses going uphill. I click on a channel and 13 minutes later it MIGHT come up.

SIGH. Well I my smart phone was actually a dumb phone from the very start. I don't like talking on the phone, so I rarely used it, and it was too underpowered to really use for gaming or for texting. Two texts and it started acting overloaded and it broke down.

SO, yes, I have rediscovered my love of reading (but I do have a kindle, which works about 50 percent of the time).
