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.

There's a reason passenger planes' safety engineering is so much better than passenger cars': if your car just goes completely dead, you can probably still steer it somewhere safe and get out. If something goes wrong with a plane and there's no backup system, it's just become a glider with one chance at landing wherever happens to be available. If your flying car is in the city (and most cars are in urban areas, because most people are) there won't be anywhere available to land, and it's going to hit a building. If the pilot fucks up then it might be worse than a glider and just drop out of the air like a stone.
