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.

The Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky has a species of spiders which communicate by moving their palps and tapping webs with their legs. When they first encounter humans they don't figure out the vibrations they make is a form of communication right away. As sound travels poorly onto webs and not in a way they are used to. Also humans make too much noise with all their other vibrations, so the tiny bit of sound that gets through gets lost in the noise.
Big recommend on that series, it's awesome!
