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.

Knowing the significance of the Gettysburg Address and remembering who read it are two different things. I can't recite the first amendment, but I know in summary it's free speech. I could probably guess but not say definitively who signed it, and for the most part, it doesn't matter. If I need to know that, I'll look it up, but the contents of the document itself it what matters. I have an okay general view of history, which is enough to not repeat it. I don't need to remember the specifics and neither do most people.
Don't forget about the first amendment freedoms of the press, assembly, and petitioning the government.
No, only freeze peach!
If you know what the Gettysburg address is about, I'd be absolutely shocked if you didn't know who delivered it.
