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.

Over time, it will destroy large parts of the park.
Well, don't design park the brain-dead way and try to actually think about visitors and their needs. As in make a straight route to a damn crosswalk instead of making it an obstacle course.
What? No! You should be happy to even get any green to begin with.

A field of monoculture grass is already destroyed.
Ackchyually, grass is almost always a mixture of different species (ryegrass, fescue and bluegrass) and therefore not a monoculture.
A lawn has its uses in parks, for example to have a Picknick. If you trow in some clover, daisies and ribwort, don't spray and patches are left to grow to provide shelter it's not that bad for biodiversity, depending on the climate of course.
Yeah, there's grass and then there's grass. Sure. I got no beef with a field of mixed grass that's left to grow, especially if there's mixed native wildflowers etc.
It's the fields of monoculture non-native grass that the Suburban White Dude[tm] wants to obsessively cultivate and that seems to be the goal of parks departments everywhere that's the problem.
My partner ranted to me the other day that she couldn't get a 10m^2 area from a local municipal parks department recently for a Miyawaki forest plot. No reasons, just "no." Very frustrating group of fuckin' boomers.
Shots fired.
The park that people are supposed to walk through?
