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.

I honestly still cannot comprehend what made them so popular.
They are essentially heavily punctured galoshes, combining stiffness with total lack of water protection - you normally prioritize wearing comfort or protection, but crocs uniquely suck at both.
To me, this will likely remain an example of an idiotic design popularized against common sense.
They don't feel stiff at all and they're incredibly soft to walk / stand in for hours. On top, they're water proof, so they clean easily. You can get models without the holes.
I think it's manly that people have different types of feet. I have a ton of arch in my feet so crocs just don't give me the support I need. But the same goes for flip flops and slides. I usually have to wear arch inserts and those just don't work in more casual shoes.
