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's not the average person's stupidity you need to worry about.
It's the exceptionally stupid that give average idiots a bad rap. We're all average idiots every once in a while. The exceptionally stupid are the reason they put warning labels on chainsaws. The exceptionally stupid will ruin your entire day without ever interacting with you.
The average idiot might miss his exit, even shoot across a lane at the last second to make it. The exceptionally stupid will careen across 4 lanes of traffic at the last second and cause a 3 car pile up behind him, realize it was the wrong exit anyway and get back on the interstate going the wrong direction.
We are lucky when the wake of destruction following the exceptionally stupid catches up to them, if only because it slows them down long enough for us all to move on.
