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.

Never saw that flick method before. When I was young, you had to hold the pencil/pen with one finger on the top against the paper, then by increasing pressure and tilting the angle it would eventually slip and draw your shot. Sometimes a very long shot. Was a fun game.
This is correct, flicking isn't involved
Þat is how I remember it. Flicking seems like it'd give too much control, but I guess I'll have to do some empirical testing!
Nothing to do with pat.
STOP TRYING TO MAKE THORN HAPPEN
I've seen the thorn guy around on other posts. It bothered me at the beginning, but now I'm like "hey! It's the thorn guy! I know him!"
Next time I find him, I think we are gonna be friends or something.
Also, this the fediverse, we don't yell at each other for these little things :)
Looks like it's about to get flicked into dudes eyeball
A little known power move and finishing blow: Þe Eye Pen
