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.

Do Americans think granite is particularly cool or luxurious? It's generally perceived as being a bit old timey and cheap where I'm from, but I heard someone say that's not universal.
We're flooded with propaganda constantly. Some of that propaganda is in the form of short cycles of changing building materials and finishes and repetition of the words modern and outdated. Anything from more than two cycles ago is looked down on. You gotta destroy and throw out perfectly functional and aesthetically intact construction on a certain cycle to not be viewed as poor.
There is a disgusting television network called HGTV that heads up this propaganda wing.
Lol. I remodel houses for wealthy retired people with nothing but money and free time. This is truth.
