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.

The wheel is overrated historically. You need paved roads for a wheel to be useful while a donkey train climbs mountains.
Found the Neanderthal
TIL all the wheelbarrows on construction sites are actually completely useless and they should just use donkeys instead
Today I learned that Jeeps just don't do anything when the pavement ends.
That one's true actually. Mall Parking lots are usually paved anyway.
Your mom was in that donkey train
She was only there because she thought the train would take her to get a donkey punch.
What if instead of making something up and barfing onto my screen you spend 3 seconds of googling and actually learning something? Because one thing you can be certain of that there were not many pawed roads 10k bc
I meant it more as in the context of subsaharan Africa not having the wheel until the 19th century. Wheels for transportation were pretty much useless until they got roads there.
I see now I should have caveated my post with 5 qualifiers now.
No you didn’t! If you meant that you would have said that as there is an titsy bitsy bit of a difference between a region of a continent to a time and the whole wide world until now!
And still, thats a whole lot of bs!
