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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I usually find it best to stop, look at my phone to increase distance, just slow right down in general. In most cases though, the best thing I find is just simply crossing to the other side of the road, especially as jaywalking isn't illegal where I'm from.
One time I crossed the street to make it absolutely clear I wasn’t following this woman. About 10 seconds later she crossed the street, then looked back and saw me, got startled like a cartoon cat, and sprinted off.
Sometimes things just don’t work out.
