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.

Ironically I think the British could have been persuaded to hand it over to Argentina at some point. Kinda like with Hong Kong (although part of that was under a 99 year lease, but notably that wasn't the whole territory either. Also I think the British could have just told them they weren't the Qing dynasty if they really wanted to keep it)
Q I mean it was literally what was happening. The military dictatorship acted like a bunch of fucking idiots and fucked it up completely.
The Falklands are British. 1) Argentina lost them in the most recent war 2) The people living there and want to be British because at the moment, Argentina sucks.
One of the funniest things about the referendum is that the 3 who voted against British rule didn't necessarily want Argentinian rule- they could have wanted independence.
