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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ya
We must be extracting just the directional kind of aspect from it, using it as a substitute for ups and downs? So it works when mostly unexamined I guess?
Kind of like “I could care less“ but that one is simply a mistake without any creativity or sensible-ish substitution (so it rubs me much worse than the roller coaster thing). Almost hope I forget about this conversation so I don’t start to mind it 😉 hehe
Edit: “clumsy” yes definitely, looking at your parent comment again
