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.

Wait is there other reasons to get married than gov treating non-married couples unequally?
Are you counting the healthcare system as part of gov?
Religious reasons. Whether it be a set religion or a personal interpretation on human spirituality linked with sexuality, etc
And for people that aren't religious?
Probably isn't much point apart from government benefits, lol.
Yeh. I will say I've heard there's like over a thousand benefits the government affords married people ranging from taxes to visiting in the hospital, etc. So back to the original point that if the government didn't incentivize it then what would be the point?
Religion. Other than that, there's none 🤣
Idk, the romantic in me likes the idea commitment like that and celebrating having found someone with friends and family 🥲
