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.

What? You don't pay taxes? That's what taxes are for. Stop being an ass. You are trying to make a point--we get it. There are better methods of transportation than cars. That's in a perfect world where everything else is equal. Not all places are designed the same, have the same people, the same temperatures and weather, etc. We can advocate for better design, but that doesn't help where we are RIGHT NOW.
My closest park is 2 miles away with no sidewalks for over half of it, a very busy intersection, etc. I'm not walking or biking there with my two young kids and a heat index over 100. The closest bus stop is a mile away and has no sidewalks on the way. No idea if it even heads to the closest park, but it's not free, either.
So, taxes are for car and car enabling, which is most of what youre worried about with your children and why you must car, because there are so many dangerous cars around! Okay.
But public transit is a pipe dream?
No one said don't invest in other options, but are you saying we can't access parks safely while we try to update?
Safe for whom?
