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.

"Oh yeah? Why should I be wearing a seatbelt in a car when it won't even save me if we crash head-on into a semi truck at 100 kph?"
Correct me if I'm wrong too, but if you're coming in on a parachute and somehow hit your head during the landing, that could hurt a lot, right?
It also means I can just flip my front visor down and not worry about stinking goggles.
So you don't get launched out the window and then crushed by your own car for the non-semi accidents.
So someone doesn't have to scrape you off the road.
These days it might actually save you. Cars have gotten stupid safe in the last decade or so. I've seen a car smashed between two semis and the driver only had minor injuries (after they cut them out).
Crumpel zones ftw!
mmm crumpet zones
Not to be confused with crumple scones.
