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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Friends? No, this sounds more like the number of people you can reasonably remember by name. Not necessarily friends.
Dunbar’s Number is the number of people who can be in a group where you know the status of everyone’s relationship to everyone else.
It means if you live in a village of Dunbar’s Number population, and you see two randomly selected villagers interacting, you already know the context of their relationship so you can interpret what their interactions mean.
You know if they are friends, enemies, lovers, coworkers, etc.
Yeah, but you can only fit so much text into four panels, especially if there's supposed to be at least a bit of a punchline. If people get curious as to what that number is and look it up or discuss it here, it's already everything I could have hoped for.
