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.

It's the calendar date of the day you were born, repeated each year. But that's not important right now.
But what is it?
The third person neuter pronoun in English, but that's not important right now.
No, what is Jesus's birthday?
Supposedly in the summer due to something about the stars. Xmas was supposed to be cultural approtiates of the winter solstice or something. I'm sure someone will add to this.
On a serious note, yes Christmas was placed where it was in order to coincide with Saturnalia, the Roman winter solstice festival. This was an attempt by Constantine, the emperor who legalized Christianity in Rome, to transition the Romans to Christianity more easily.
Thanks! I thought it happened waaay later.
I've never seen one before. No one has. But I'm guessing it's a white hole.
