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.

The textbook intro examples of the law of supply and demand aren't even true in practice.
They're all like "prices on ice cream will rise when it's hotter out so there is more demand for it!" and I have never found that to be true at fucking all.
That and I've never seen prices ever go down for any reason whatsoever unless it's some already volatile thing like oil/gas.
Coke invented a vending machine that would automatically raise prices as the temp went up, but there was outcry after its announcement so it was never released
