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.

I don't understand what there is to be obsessed about. Or rather, what do you do? Study ever finer details of what exactly happened over the course of the war? To me it seems mostly "on this day some people killed some other people, and on this other day more people were killed".
Like it or not, wars make people think and co-operate in amazing ways.
We only got computers because of decoding efforts. The first rockets were used to destroy cities, and aeroplanes improved vastly because we were building bombers.
Heck, Napoleon invented canned food because his armies were too vast to live off the land.
Churchill said the only history is military history, and it's hard to disagree.
