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
The hilarious thing about this is that the modern authoritarian doesn't respect the engineer or the scientist either.
Outside of very ancient times, where many regimes we consider authoritarian were closer to an electoral technocracy anyway, I don't think even half of the totalitarian governments respected science or technology. And when they did, it was usually because somebody was forcing the leader's hand.
It's more of a trait of democracies.
