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.

Or, you know, you could just talk to a person on the phone.
But it they are in the middle of something they could lose half a minute of time instead of 5 seconds checking a text. It's the same as opening a phone call with 'got time to talk' but more efficient.
Oh no, 30 whole seconds.
Phone calls are never thirty seconds. It's always fluffed up by twenty minutes of "how are you" and "what are your plans next week" like fam I'm trying to do the dishes and had to scramble to pick up the phone with wet hands, go away
It adds up. Why waste other people's time? I think it can be inconsiderate.
If you think talking to a loved one on the phone for 30 seconds is a waste of time, you might want to evaluate your priorities.
If you're in the middle of something, let it go to voicemail and check it when you're done.
People are just sooooo busy with their SUPER IMPORTANT lives, that they definitely don't have 5 minutes to spend unscheduled with the likes of you.
Piss off and get in the text queue like everyone else!
