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 wonder how many people watched The Colbert Report and had no idea it was satire.
Back then, this statement was such an exaggeration that it was plain to see it was satire... now it's indistinguishable from reality
Penis inspection day at school used to be so innocent.
The only acceptable place for Penis Inspection Day is in a Space Station.
My gym teacher discovered a melanoma that would otherwise have taken my life at a mere six years old. I’m confounded by the idea that only astronauts should be spared sickness. I owe my health to his daily suppositories.
I get the feeling most people don't even get the reference I was making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJ_qSXruW0&t=12m13s
I’ve never seen this before, it was entertaining. Particularly the part where everyone started hallucinating and then died.
Hey hey people...
True. Think of how many you'd be able to inspect from up there!
Last time we brought up Penis Inspection Day there were a ton of posters being all "No, for real, everyone had a Penis Inspection Day, right? Right!!?!"
For anyone curious it's 25/07/2025 in metric calendars.
Thank you, I thought it was the 7th of Quinquember.
It would actually be the 7th of Trivigintember, since the month names start counting with March as 1
Don't you hate it when there suddenly are 13 additional months in your year?
You mean the superior date format; 2025/07/25
That's a file path, THIS is a date format: 2025-07-25
You’re right; I was so close.
Finally, some good fucking ISO around here!
How about 25-206 or 2025-W30-5.
Edit: the ISO8601 spec includes these
Julian dates suck, but not as much as the standard date formats.
Both versions above actually are part of the ISO8601 spec though, as week dates and ordinal dates.
One more reason RFC3339 is better than ISO8601?
In all honesty, the big problem with Julian dates are they aren't readable for most people, if they even recognize what they are. In specific industries, it's an acceptable format, with minimal ambiguity. Now, do we talk about how my company puts the year after the date?
Right on the freaking nail, this one was. Really good.
For real this one needs to go viral
Could also use something about the children of Gaza. Like shooting down the parents of children while they are trying to fetch food for their children.
FOR THE CHILDREN.
(The US isn't doing this per se, but they are supporting the ones who do so.)
