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.

Nah, gotta go with soks - can't have that redundant k in there!
Socc is the correct spelling now, because its "soccer" not Sokker (or Soker).
This is a hill I am willing to die on.
Language evolves over time to become shortened for convenience.
Therefore sox is now the correct spelling. You all are using archaic spelling variations. Sox is always plural. I'm sure this will cause no confusion.
On a less anarchist note, spelling wasn't standardized until the early 1900s.
So up until then, sox, soccs, socs, sokks, soks, and socks were all valid ways to refer to foot panties.
Foot panties!! This is now canon, someone call Merriam-Webster!
Foot condom
