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.

Who the hell called that a recorder btw? As not-a-native-speaker, the first time I heard that term I was super confused, thinking they were talking about a tape recorder.
As a native English speaker, I had the same thought.
Millions of American children are (were?) given these in the third grade and yes they all call them that
We all had these in school as well in Europe but we just call them flutes.
Same in the UK.
Yup, That’s a straight flute.
It’s an old ass instrument so it had the name long before tape recorders. As for other kind of recording, Wikipedia says:
Damn jongleurs!
(But thanks for teaching me something today!)
