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.

Why are the words coming out of the cradle and not the receiver? Artist don't know how landlines work?
As an artist, I would struggle with that panel. Not because I don't know how phones work, but I want to be able to depict the words coming from the phone, not the character holding the phone, without the reader getting confused about who's is saying what.
Sure, it's inaccurate, but it's also functional.
I think even if you put the speech bubble next to the phone it would be fine, since the phone uses a different speech bubble style than the previous panel
