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.

Not fair, that is a medical document.
hahaha true
Latin cursive can be just as bad: https://imgur.com/WKPaFYf
It usually looks like this, with the dotted i's, which is a lot more legible.
!
Clearly that's mimimum
Is that "minimum"?
Yes. And we can read that because we've a passing familiarity with Latin cursive. I assume Cyrillic readers can make sense of the Russian example, even if we're clueless.
Now, an exercise for you guys. Answer which script this is without peeking at the table:
မင်္ဂလာပါ၊ တွေ့ရတာ ဝမ်းသာပါတယ်။
Where cyrillic or georgian script
Cyrilllic is bulgarian in origin, but I think this picture describes eastern asian scripts (there are other cool ones among those, like tamil).
Which asian language uses those?
Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan
I thought Kazakhstan switched to Latin script
The transition is still undergoing. Takes a while to switch.
Stay tuned for the sequel!
