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 love the detail on the ambulance, even the word "ambulance" is mirrored
Why is it mirrored?
iirc it's so that the text will appear correctly in the side mirrors of a car ahead of the ambulance but I'm sure there's more to it than that
Nope, that's it!
Edit: picture of one https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTjvM5N7qC4Cg7Hy-RfR-ZQvtIqtmaSCpnZ4gKqJoC3EKCECigRlNkvqL6S&s=10
Huh, what country is this ambulance design from?
Australia (Victoria)
ah damn, fair enough
Is this literally the picture that the artist used as reference? Everything matches, even the blue and red on the side
It's because Leonardo da Vinci created the first ambulance.
And presumably in the rear-view mirror as well :P
Oh wow. That makes sense
Unless you’re James May and forget to mirror the letters themselves: https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/topgear/images/3/37/Top-Gear-James%27s_Undertaker_Ambulance.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150312140601
