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'm not the caliber of athlete you're talking about having only done local runs, but I can't say I pay attention to what other people are wearing enough to read the words on their shirts. I'm more focused on elbowing in to get a free banana before they're all gone or making sure my bib isn't pinned on upside down.
However, if this is a common enough thing, how is there no an industry of making over-the-top fake race shirts to parody those folks you're talking about?
I'm thinking things like:
That'd be fun, I've seen titanic swimming team shirts before
Bravo, sounds like a solid idea honestly. Def made me giggle, lol.
