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.

Jen is loading DVD's into a donation box. Admiral: Stop!! You can't get rid of our DVD's! What if the streaming sites go down?! - Admiral: What'll we watch if there's an apocalypse? The NEWS?! Jen: You're right! DVD's are essential for survival! - Admiral: We still have a DVD player, right? Jen: I mean... probably

USB DVD readers are still available if you look

I literally have a salvaged disk drive from an old computer connected up to a SATA adapter. Lol.

I do too. I haven't used it in about 10 years, and this is at least the fourth computer it has been in. Maybe I don't need it anymore, but if I throw it away, then I'll surely have to read a DVD.

And they're basically free. I think I paid $20 for my last one, new.

I have two 5 1/4" drives in a PC, one doing Bluray XL and the other Bluray and HD-DVD (altough I couldn't test that feature because nothing supports them anymore and a lot of HD-DVDs are dead from disc rot)
