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.

The secret that took years to solve was more obscure than just a special jump in a race in the book.
Yeah the movie really didn't do the book much justice. The message was the same, but the movie completely undermined itself. Saying 'Real life is more important than the digital world because it's where real connections and food is.' doesn't hit as hard when it's the very fact that it was Wade's obsession with the digital world and having encyclopedic knowledge of Halliday that allowed him to win. The book is still clunky but it's Wade's actions in the real world that really set's him apart from the sixers and gunters.
