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.

I don’t think that even exists here (it probably does, but it’s a minor option) but that’s probably because literally everywhere around here does fish on Friday (year round and way better than fast food but also usually fairly cheap) and a lot of places do on Wednesday as well.
And during lent, fish is always available. Chain fish places do very poorly here, other than like crab, lobster, or sushi.
Idk where you're from, but it may also be a legal/health thing. Long John Silver's is notoriously unhealthy, even by American standards. Idk how much they've improved in the last few years though, if at all.
Almost every sit-down chain restaurant in my state closed down/failing because of quality issues or local competition. Chili's, Red Lobster, Long John Silvers, Applebee's...
It was HUGE local news during the pandemic with franchises begging people to "Support their local Chili's" and everyone laughed. Then one really loud owner bought lots of local ads that we don't deserve it and the locals dunk on them.
As of last month, another chain restaurant faded away, while more local restaurants popped up.
Nature is healing.
I live in Wisconsin, I’m like pretty sure it probably exists, since we don’t care about our health (3 of the 4 drunkest cities in the US are within an hour drive of where I live, and it’s also the dairy capital and so we aren’t a healthy bunch overall) it’s just not a typical option since we have high standards for deep fried fish specifically.
