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.

Two monks were passing by a little pond where there were some ducks, and the first monk said, "Look at how happy those ducks are!"
The second monk said, "You are not a duck. You can't know if they are happy."
The first monk replied, "You are not me. You can't know that I cannot."
The takeaway from this is that half of all monks may or may not have duck telepathy, yes?
It's a zen parable, so... yes.
