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.

They just announced that they're raising water and sewage in my area by 300% by the end of the year. No reason given, just because they can. It should be fucking illegal. They're also planning on putting in a few data centers, which are currently being hotly contested, because they're supposed to make everyone's electric bill go up about 300% as well. I'm terrified as to how I'm going to afford my electric bill. Water and sewage is included in my rent, I can't wait to see how much that increases when my lease is up this winter and I also have no idea how I'll afford it, but I also don't know if I could find anywhere to move that would be cheaper and not give me a commute that negates any savings.
