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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Why is the first wheel always shown as stone? Surely a log would have lent itself to the discovery of rolling much more readily
Wheels were useless anyway until the invention of the axle, around 3500 BCE.
Mill stones are paleolithic so like 7000 years prior to the wheel and the good ones are just wheels with intentionally angled faces.
What good's an axle without...the grabby thing that holds the axle or whatever it connects to?
Not to mention the lack of internal combustion engines to power the whole thing.
