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.

Huh... peanuts coming from underground is such an obvious memory for me I don't recall where I learned it. It feels like something everyone just knows, like carrots, potatoes, and yams. It didn't occur to me outside of today's lucky 10000 that a lot wouldn't know.
I wonder if its really aot of people or just some.
Peanuts growing underground is also really weird. Very few plants hide their fruit like that.
Fun fact: in German, peanuts are called "Erdnuss", which literally translates to "soil nut", which seems actually fit like a glove. To be honest, I never thought about the name it has. Learn something new every day.
I think it's a lot of people because people think they're nuts because of the name and they never have earth left on them unlike potatoes or carrots...
