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
In other words although I'm not a native English speaker (L3 = third language) I tend to use the language as some British people do. As such I might end using terms that are mostly restricted to the UK without noticing that they may not be understood by others.
That's the case with "sod". It's something like "damn" or "fuck". Sometimes also used as a noun to convey contempt towards someone, as in "that sod" = "that fucker", "that poor thing". And "sod off" = "fuck off", but it feels a bit milder.
[RP = received pronunciation. I used it slightly off-context here but it's just a reference anyway.]
