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.

The pledge was invented by a flag salesman. So the cheap flag in every classroom is the point.
I would love to believe this but i can't find any evidence. Do you have a source?
People keep linkin to Francis Bellamy's Wikipedia as source for this. Haven't read it myself yet. Seems more likely that they capitalized after creation, when they realized some money could be made.
Can't imagine theres tons of money in flags but who knows.
Neat. He was a flag salesman and a Christian socialist.
