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 have DRM-free versions of How To and What If?.
They're made of trees.
I really like physical media. Thing is, I don't have the space for shelves upon shelves of physical media.
Same. I have a lot of books. I just can not really buy more books in the space that I have. They take up so much space. I have all of the books in my physical library plus more on my ereader.
For me the bulk would be music CDs. Those aren't even that nice as physical items ...
CD collections seem like a pain to manage.
I know someone with a vinyl collection, that's even worse. Though at least vinyl sleeves don't feel as cheap as those plastic CD cases. And noisy vinyl is probably nicer than skipping CDs, though they both suck in their own way.
Completely fair. That was mostly for the joke, but I do have a lot of digital media, at some point you don't have much choice in the matter. Most of mine is games though.
Got my first e-reader because someone was getting rid of theirs... And well, that's a kindle, a very old one. I never bought any digital book from amazon, only used it with calibre and stuff found elsewhere. Some public domain, some bought through bundles and stuff, some... "found" elsewhere. i've not had amazon wipe it yet as some say it happened to them, not even sure it could happen on mine, they haven't even supported it forever. But it's a tiny minority of my books anyway.
