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

Shouldn't it be "ðe world ... wiþ your attitude"?
By 1066, thorn had completely replaced eth, and was used for all dental fricatives. Icelandic still differentiates þem.
Sure but thorn itself was getting phased out some 300 years later, so I think if we're reintroducing letters then we might as well also reintroduce ones that differentiate between different sounds.
It's entirely arbitrary eiþer way. If eth, why not wynn? I'm certainly not doing it to increase legibility :-)
