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.

Cooling a pie on the windowsill is one of those cultural osmosis things where I've never seen anyone actually do it, but I know all about it nonetheless.
I think there are a crap ton of "tropes" that society does, but no one actually does it. I know times have changed and maybe they used to do all of them before. I think they just made a bunch of different scenes for shows and movies, but no one does it.
Like cooling a pie on a window sill, school talent shows, take your kid to work day. I'm sure there is more that I can't think about, but Hollywood also love putting a musical episode in shows that don't need them too.
Good point on both. I've never experienced either myself, but I just kind of assumed they were still done somewhere.
Apparently they are still done somewhere. I just don't know anyone irl that has done them. Well I haven't conducted a poll, so maybe I have and just don't know it.
