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.

I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!

Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.

Yeah, I'm not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I've heard stories but it's hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.

Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There's a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.

Places change.

yeah, I'm also not quite old enough for that, but the modern conservative narrative would have you believe that most cities are actual warzones right now that are worse than the 80s. i imagine it was similar then. it's hard to trust what people try to tell you about it anymore.
