I’mma be honest, English has no business making fun of any other language. English is not a language, it’s three languages standing on eachother’s shoulders in a trenchcoat.

Heh. In this case I am making fun of my own language, though.

Theres one big difference between German and English. German allows you to just take multiple words and pack them into one word. This is a bug feature English does not have(or at least not to this extend). That’s also the reason why its sometimes very hard to translate some gean words because you have to split them up and then translate them individually.

Childless but many of my friends have kids and seeing that top panel… Just… lol.

“this is a tool, not a toy”

How many times have I heard that said, or even said it myself, to children.

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.
