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.

Is this a suburban thing I’m too urban to understand?
Many leaf blowers are powered by angry little single cylinder 2-stroke gas engines. Those obscenely loud and annoying machines are carefully engineered to emit sounds that are perfectly within the most intolerable frequency ranges of the human hearing spectrum.
Probably, there needs to be trees and lawns around for this to be an issue.
People who live in the suburbs live in very quiet environments. I live next to a busy street and personally I would like to the inventor of the subwoofer eliminated.
