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.

Edit: yup just looked it up, and there it is. Wikipedia: hangman#history:
Edit 2:
Don't read this, you will rage.

as soon as I read 'white cap', grrrr. So important to know history and origins, so that we don't repeat horrendous mistakes.
Yeah seriously, my mom thought us to play hangman. But my kid is going to learn the birds and fish version for sure.
