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.

Some time ago, I pulled this sticker off our old fridge before we got rid of it and put it onto my PC's side panel (don't ask me why, I guess I thought it looked cool). I don't exactly know where it came from or who put it there, although I suspect it was put there by a Australian relative that was visiting us a long time ago (the Murrumbidgee is a river in NSW, Australia).

Does anyone know the artist or name of this if it even has one? There's no obvious signature that I can see.

Feel free to remove if this isn't allowed.

I figured it was either British or Aussie, since I'm American and didn't understand half of it 😂

"no car today"

"no I had to walk, I think there's water in the engine"

"where abouts?"

"in the river"

That is so stupid but I can't stop laughing reading the original now.

It looks like a copy of Snake Tales. The art on this one is a bit rougher than what I recall from Snake Tales, but the style is the same.

It does look like his style.

It's Australian for sure

I'd call it a Chaswozzer.

'Beyond the black stump' was a famous Australian comic strip but this doesn't look similar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Black_Stump_(comic_strip)

It doesn't look like the Ettamogah pub series. Or ginger meggs

Found this looks like the same comic series. https://drabble.substack.com/p/this-day-in-drabble-history-march-0a9
