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.

MODERATORS
I was going to comain until I realized that the fprmat is the one that I prefer.
I just don't like to be forced to include the damn year everytime, and if you cut the year from ISO 8601 you get the american MM-DD order, which everybody hates.
I like DD/MM/YYYY. 🤷🏻♂️

Working for a global clinical research company, DD-Mmm-YYYY is the easiest for everyone to understand and be on the same page. It's bad enough identifying which date you're capturing in metadata without also trying to juggle multiple date formats.
Sounds like something a terrorist would say.
I’m not a computer and this isn’t work so I’m gonna just use my confusing date format.
Feb 27th 2013
Boom. Everything is in a different format so you can order it however you want and it's still readable.

...nah man, 27 february 2013 (or 2013 february 27 if you want to append 24.00 time) leave no room for ambiguity...
No hablo inglés y no sé cuál es "february". How about that? Only Arabic numbes survive internationally.
I'm working in an international company with colleagues around the world. To avoid confusion, I switched to using this format:
27-FEB-2013

This format can fuck off. I prefer the unambiguous format 2FEB2013.
Checkmate, date snobs.
And yes, nations are free to use their appropriate abbreviations for the months.
