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.

Oh, right.
Never even saw an ad for it but, then again, who watches ads anymore? Good reviews? Can't trust them, most are bots nowadays.
Just as well, people are so broke they don't want to risk spending money on something they don't know when they can watch a remake of a story they know they enjoy or just don't have money to even go to the movies at all.
Gotta love that capitalist innovation and the "invisible hand if the market" at work.
My favourite thing about movies is that a movie that makes 10million dollars is a flop. It could make 100millions and now we're sad and can only afford to make a cheap remake
