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.

"The Girls’ Club of America" used the Swastika before the Nazis. It was originally a sign of good fortune and good health used by new age health types. Much closer to how we think of the Peace symbol.
That's why The Nazis used it, it had youth appeal and good sentiment. The Nazis advertised themselves as being a health and good living movement. That's part of where their love of healthy ideal bodies and features came from.
They believed in hiking, and young people forming bands, and camping and practicing music and singing and marching in alpine hikes. All very wholesome healthy stuff.
We know now what they were, but they were seen very differently at the time.
Good thing we know better now. gestures at RFK and the way he talks about MAHA.
