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.

If anyone needed a summary of British politeness and not wanting to cause a fuss, this is it.

What was colonization then?

Misplaced aggression for not voicing their concerns out in public?

We knew it was wrong of course…. But we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to cause a fuss.

I once ate a steak that was cold because of this. The memory will haunt me forever.

At least it wasn't well done, was it?

Ah yes. Chewy boot leather. No it wasn't. It was medium. I still wonder if they pulled the meat out of the fridge and didn't give it a chance to warm through when searing it, but it didn't seem all that rare in the middle. Just... cold.

Sure, but drunk Brits are the least polite people in the world

I didn't know that I did, but now I know that I did and do

Also a decent summary of the stereotypical Jewish mother and her love of suffering. Also illustrated by the following joke:

Q: How many Jewish mothers does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: It's all right, I'll just sit in the dark.
