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.

In one sense, each such quote is a blurb*. It's not clear to me whether "Klappentext" refers to everything on the back of a book, but if it does then blurbs form all or part of that.
In another sense, we might use "blurb" to mean everything on the back of a book. I'm not completely sure which is correct, but when in the plural for one book, it's definitely being used as a synonym for "quote" with a little added context.
* I'm not even sure whether "blurb" refers to only a quote or to the quote and its following attribution. Dictionaries are not clear on this.
