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.

I'm actually thinking about getting a full set of encyclopedias for the house so my 12 year old can use them. He just asked me as I was typing, "are moles nocturnal?" Lol.

I think it helps with spelling/critical thinking to look things up in physical books, and more importantly, I don't have to be standing over his shoulder as he looks for information, as my son just can't get the hang of internet safety yet..

He's absolutely spent time reading the dictionary, he was reading it often between ages 6-8. I thought it was super adorable the first time I saw him doing it. I consider myself pretty dumb too, but being able to seek information properly is so important; "I may not know the answer, but I can try and find it" is core critical thinking in practice.

Of course, this doesn't apply in the same way when the child/young mind is just typing the question into a chat box for an easy answer, all the while autocorrect is fixing every spelling/grammar error for them. Books man, the easiest parental control there is for learning imo
