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 get the point you're trying to make, but as someone with multiple disabilities, both mental and physical, I can't help but feel an icky taste in my mouth after saying "disability pride". As if my brain damage, anxiety or cerebral palsy, to mention a few, is something to be proud of, rather than something to work on overcoming, in order to live my best life.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities, not acknowledge ones limitations and be comfortable with that, but to have them as an object of pride seems counter productive at best.
Well said, Pissmidget.
Man, reminds me of that old sub on Reddit, what was it? Rimjob Steve, I think?
