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.

MODERATORS
I have used "I am not a clever man" so often because of this comic.
Same and for like ten years. Nobody has ever understood the reference in that whole span but the sentence alone is funny
Is this actually the original use of that sentence?
No, the original is from the Judeo-Christian holy texts:
Genesis 4:8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
Genesis 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
Genesis 4:10 “I don’t know,” he replied. “I am not a clever man.”
Fuckin amazing. I actually believed you and had to look it up lmao
