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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It wasn't actually the f-word because they speak a different language in Austria
To clarify - the name of the village was the literal word 'Fucking', which was printed on the road signs that kept being stolen. Of course, 'Fucking' doesn't mean 'fucking' in German (that would be 'ficken'); according to Wikipedia, the (previous) name of the village ("Fucking") means "(place of) Focko's people".
