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 month–day–year (MDY) format (like September 6, 2025) is called the U.S. date format or American date format because it’s primarily used in the United States and a few other countries."
Also it's obviously that format because 9/11
911 that date was a deliberate mockery of America and that is the reason that date specifically was chosen if you use any other format it completely ignores history and lore of the 9/11 event.
I agree this is a confusing date* but using literally anything else in this context is completely oblivious to the events that went on.
*Of course if an entire society has said that this is the date we are going to use then that would make any other date as confusing as any other date despite some arbitrary numerical order.
