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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

NGL, I'd be disappointed as well if someone invited me for coffee, tea etc. and then we'd just be talking without any drinks.
I this case it is a wordplay on the fact that young people these days call gossip "tea".
I feel old. Never heard of gossip being referred to as tea.
It's a relatively old term in the south that is now being used in the mainstream.
If your aunt told you she had tea for you, you were at rapt attention, cuz there was about to be some good fuckin shit.
Whenever I see 'tea' in this context, I imagine upper class women at their afternoon parties talking shit about women who are not there.
Oh, men gossip too but for them it would be 'smoke'.
Yes, I am probably influenced by Mad Men.
Would being served a beverage at your aunt's not also be a given, though?
