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.

Lol. Im on the autism spectrum. You have no idea the complexity I can visualize and manipulate in my mind. I basically have CAD software in my brain.
I've got two kids. I told my older one "you've got a blackboard in your brain, practice making it bigger and making the things you write on it last longer". He says "oh yeah you're right cool".
My younger kid doesn't have one. Just, not there. She has an incredible eye for color and immediately sounds like a native when learning a new language, though, which neither of the other two of us have.
That's a good point. I haven't used drafting software in a long time, but that shows this imagery is a practiced skill rather than an innate ability.
