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 know it's not likely, but I REALLY like the idea of "handcar"
It's not exactly handcar, but "vehicle" in german is "drivething" (Fahrzeug).
I love how they jam words together to make new words. As I understand it, German is easier to learn because the bigger words are made of smaller words glued together instead of creating new words with no clues. I got this from a book on the history of the English language, which I will again promote because it was so fun to read:
Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don't Rhyme and Other Oddities of the English Language
Plane is Fly Thing (Flugzeug)
You know, I know just enough German to have wondered how -zeug fit into things and now I know and I'm pretty happy about drive and fly things ๐
Are you also happy about play things (toys), fire things (lighters), hit things (drums), work things (tools) and green things (greenery)?
What's so special about it? https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/old-railway-handcar-railroad-mokra-gora-serbia-old-railway-handcar-186122041.jpg
Okay well yes when you point out the obvious and valid English word handcar I see how this is a dumb comment haha
See I'd much prefer one woth pedals, like a bike.
I don't think it would be very practical. It's so heavy you have to use your entire body weight to get it going.
