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.

This was my favourite author in high school. He wrote this stuff in the early 1900 but it's still so relatable for modern readers. I highly recommend "il fu Mattia Pascal" (the late Mattia Pascal) and a little less recommended "uno, nessuno, centomila" (One, no one, and one hundred thousands).
https://www.pirandellointranslation.org/someones-laughing this one is also good. It's satire against squadrism. (He "subscribed" to the fascist party due to fear and pressure, so he protested more criptically)
https://www.pirandellointranslation.org/the-license this one instead is against ostracism and singling out weaker people.
He also was a pioneer of meta-theater, with works like "sei personaggi in cerca d'autore" (six characters in search of an author).
