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.

Plus they’re not wild at all. It’s still a lot of pavement-touching. Especially when there’s signs telling you not to walk on the grass.
America really sucks. Go look at my home city of Edinburgh on a map, that's how you do a city
Princes Gardens going from a dump in the 1800s to a nice park is quite a transformation
It's a really beautiful park with an incredible background of old town royal mile and it isn't even crack top 3 best parks in Edinburgh
That's not a park, then, it's a nature preserve.
I agree those are much better than parks
So... you don't want to touch the grass?
I want to touch dirt. I want mud squishing between my toes and the cool wind whipping over my naked body. I want to feast on wild edibles while I gaze at a sky so full of stars it hurts to look at them. I want my neighbors to have paws and fur and feathers and scales. I want any signs I see to be curiosities or raw materials and to divorce myself from the human concept of time. I want to not see another person for months, and even then they are on a distant hilltop and quickly flee.
So... a national park, then?
Even there the signs must be read and obeyed. Imaginary lines in the dirt that I must be aware of.
And they make me wear clothes.
