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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I kinda agree with some of the sentiment here, but if you hate the city, is it necessary to live there? I think it's usually even more expensive than outside the city so you cannot explain it with money.
Yes, if you like living with people. Why is it OK for cities to be plastered with ads? It's been shown they are not necessary.
And it's not like TV or Youtube where ads are subsidising my experience. Outdoor ads are very rarely subsidising the thing you are experiencing. Sure, maybe ads on buses and bus stops help lower bus costs. But most ads are on buildings and billboards where the city doesn't benefit from them. And you can't opt out from riding a bus plastered with ads that cover even the windows making you even more depressed. There's no bus premium subscription.
It was never about the city.
You completely missed the point
By kinda agreeing with some of the sentiment there?
City bad store good. Live in pisshole = worse storenprobably
