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.

No idea what "Slay the Spire" is so I had to look it up:

Cartoon makes more sense now!
Wow, that's pretty incredible that it hadn't reached you all these years. Slay the Spire's predecessor is Dream Quest, which, in combination with the tabletop card game Dominion, spawned a whole subgenre of deck-building games.
Indies' Lies, Pirates Outlaws, Monster Train, Tainted Grail: Conquest, Griftlands, and so many more are all direct descendants of StS. It was as revolutionary to indie gaming as FTL: Faster Than Light and Doukutsu Monogatari (Cave Story) were in their respective genres.
So there's a little bit of indie gaming history for you.
Yeah, I don't have the energy to sift through 500 garbage indie games to find the one gem. ;) As a rule, I don't bother with indie titles.
