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.

I figure that's about what a CD used to cost back in the day, adjusted for inflation. We were paying $16 for a CD back in the early 90's. Records are probably more expensive to make, and often have really cool artwork as inserts. There's the thrift store too though. About half of my record collection are original presses that I got from the thrift store for twenty five cents each. They don't sound as good, but they're pretty neat. Sometimes I buy a record at the thrift store just because it has cool artwork, like the Chicago album that has pressed engraving artwork, like dollar bills.
Edit: wow, CDs actually cost more back then adjusted for inflation. $36.12 in 1992.
Adjusted for inflation, maybe. But records used to be cheaper than CDs.
