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’m Asian. Don’t take my just-rising living standards away from me.

edit: how did I forget: every time I hear someone say they can't do anything why bother, I want to say you sound exactly like the boomer in the cartoon, it's funny how so many people blame boomers for doing nothing but then simultaneously argue that it's not worth doing anything

You have an opportunity unlike the rest of us to have rising living standards in addition to not contributing to the problem

Solar + Battery + EV's will save you billions of petro-dollars not going to the likes of Russia/Saudi Arabia/Iran etc

I can already see that this is not reality:

we can reduce our footprint, but it’s small compared to corporate bullshit

Recently announced in Vietnam:

Hanoi plans to ban fossil-fuel motorcycles from its city center in July 2026, part of a national drive to cut emissions and air pollution. Its commercial capital, Ho Chi Minh City, is weighing a similar step. By 2030, Vietnam aims for a third of cars and more than a fifth of motorbikes to run on electricity.

That's 3.5 million small footprints that will soon be making a positive impact :)

This is not a zero sum game, every single little bit helps
