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.

MODERATORS
You can't expect everyone to see 9 as 4+5 because some will see it as 8+1 or even 12 + -3 or many other possibilities, and you need to accept and understand those people. But you don't have to listen to people who claim 10 + 7 is 9, for example, and you can tell them they're wrong.
You do not have to accept people who are obviously incorrect, and more importantly, you shouldn't.
Kids don't know how to do math but you don't cast them away, you teach them how to do it.
We're talking about people who are confidently wrong, not without knowledge and are willing to learn. CONTEXT.
Can I post anything without 50 people taking some smartass point of view outside of its context and thinking they're correcting me somehow? Holy hell.
Absolutely. Except that the world is more complex, and there is no right answer.
The issue is not that people choose to distance themselves from the conversation.
The issue is that a powerful select few control what you do or do not hear.
