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.

My favourite ... which is actually very common ... is some nutjob speeding up behind me, tailgating to try to pass in the most improbable places, solid lanes, etc but doing so without success. Watching them in the mirror close enough for me see how frustrated they are and waving their hands.
After several minutes or even half an hour of following you ... they finally pass.
Then immediately turn off in front of you because they reached their turn off / parking lot / restaurant / gas station / place of work.
Years ago, I'd try to avoid people like this by slowing down or even dipping at low speed onto the shoulder to let them pass .... but it seldom works because they are just driving down the highway / freeway / roadway for a short distance to take their turn off.
So now, I really don't care, I keep my speed, don't let them affect my driving and keep a close eye on them ... and sure enough, they disappear because they took their turn off.
