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 have had many, many, uneventful subway rides. Most of the time it's just people sitting and/or standing quietly. Boring is a little more subjective- someone might find people watching interesting, but even then sometimes off-peak it can be sparsely populated. Sitting in quiet non-interaction for 25 minutes with an old lady reading, a middle aged guy dozing, and another person silently looking at their phone isn't very exciting, but that's a lot of rides.
Like, this is people's daily commute. It's not the warriors. It's not whatever wacky video surfaced on youtube. Most of the time it's just transit, and good transit is pretty boring.
