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.

Exactly, it's like when you look at US median wealth distribution, if you don't strip off the 0.1% at the top that have over a billion dollars in assets, then it makes everything massively lopsided and skews incredibly higher than reality.
Being told that at the age of 35, your average peers have a net worth of $175,000 is not anywhere near true for most people that's actually 35 and surrounded by peers.
You just have a couple of money bag multi-billionaires massively counterbalancing the far higher number of people with negative net worth.
