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 can see the point though. The CCP's philosophy is pretty "So what, we're winning. Cry about it lol."
A great example is how we used to do a lot of recycling stateside. They "economy of scale"d it to death and suddenly recycling stateside was no longer worth it and most of it closed up. Now recycled goods aren't worth much to them either so they're like "Oh well who cares." and it never recovered.
So if we compromise first, they'll likely want to take advantage. If they compromise, they're probably convinced (perhaps rightly so), that we'll do some underhanded thing to pull power from them instead.
It's utterly ridiculous seeing as we share a planet, but, yeah...
