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'm anti car. But I'm not in favor of banning cars. I want public transport to be good enough that people want to use it instead of cars.
If I want to get from where I live to the city centre during rush hour, it's actually faster to take the tram than to drive, and that's before looking for a parking spot
What is it we imagine "banning cars" actually means?
I'm not disagreeing, but I'm curious. Does anyone think there's a serious policy proposal to just...ban cars. Like, "starting May 1st, there will be no cars. Authorities will be collecting your car, and it will be crushed and melted down to make bikes. If you live in the middle of nowhere...well I guess you'll have to eat pinecones or something."
Obviously, that's silly to even consider, but I am absolutely in favor of banning cars on at least a couple of specific streets in my city. We could do it today, and no one would be more than mildly inconvenienced, and the new car-free spaces would be thoroughly enjoyed.
What if I were to tell you you start with those few streets and then keep expanding the bans?
let them eat pinecones
