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.

And they're ridiculously expensive for some injection molded foam rubber. You don't have to cut or sew leather or fabric, or bind soles, or punch holes for laces like with a shoe/boot. Manufacturing them is cheap as shit. So why do they cost so much?
$40-50 for a shoe that lasts half a decade doesn't seem bad. What do you think they should cost?
They only last that long if you only use them to fetch the mail or take out the trash.
