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.

I live near my workplace and ride a bicycle every day. It keeps my fitness level up, which means I don't have to pay for a gym membership or take time out of my day for one. If I was in a car, I'd have to pay attention to what other road users are doing and follow the road rules, but I get to have a solitary commute listening to podcasts, with fewer rules. My bike is cheap, all it needs to run is WD-40 and ramen. I never have to worry about gas prices or being scammed by an auto shop or spending attention on how full my gauge is. My bike will keep working even if my home turned into a warzone and there were no supply shipments. I don't have to feel guilty for giving kids asthma or causing droughts in poor countries.
My bike is better than a car.
