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 in Finland and it's always mildly weird when these country lists have "Aland Islands" right in the top. I'm not entirely sure in which circumstances the folks from Åland even pick that option. But, I mean, it's an autonomous region, they do have the right to mildly confuse the people who collect user statistics.

(There was also that one incident when some Google product wasn't available in EU as a whole due to regulations that had to be sorted out, but it was somehow available in Åland because Google did an oopsie.)

Also some places have option "Finland" and some have "Suomi" and it should never be "Suomi" unless it's a Finnish site IMO.

Also some sites ask for email addresses.

I give them my .fi address.

The sites then go "did you mean .fr?"

And I'm like "No actually I'm in Finland. It's a whole different country. Don't get me wrong, I love the French, great country. I love our EU brothers and sisters and enbypals. Just don't buy a nuclear reactor from them."
