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.

Give credit to Apple here, they’re one of the only brands with sensible product names. “Apple Studio Display” “iPhone 16” etc.
I wish more brands did this.
Shoutout to PlayStation too, but not the rest of Sony 😂
Wouldn't work for monitors. If Apple puts out one monitor into each product line every 2-3 years, Dell for example could have 3-4 different 27s out every year - there could be a 1080p, a 1440p and a 2160p that all share the same physical size and release year.
I’m sure there’s something to be done about the naming scheme even for Dell, though, so it’s a little easier to distinguish the products.
I think it's mostly fine - the first letter signifies the product line/sub-brand (e.g. U for Ultrasharp, AW for Alienware), then two digits mean the diagonal in inches, then another two digits are the release year; it's only the letters after that are not entirely obvious.
