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.

Ah yes. I was once in an apprenticeship by a lutheran farmer. Always wondered, why are you thanking god for the meal we put our own work in?
It has been and still is common for crops to be randomly blighted. There is less of it now with science but good crops require good weather even now so farmers do play the lottery every year no matter how hard they work. It's why "losing the farm" is such a common trope.
So you thank god for not ruining your crop?
That question earned you a year of blighting. Any more critical thought you would like to have?
Fasnacht starts tommorow here, that drives the blight away.
