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 thought I knew preparedness and the general Boy Scout Way up until I started making a living as a delivery driver. I started keeping my Microspikes in my car precisely for this purpose. And a lot of other junk as well.

One of my favorite customer interactions (among many, and I am using "favorite" in the same way that Dwarf Fortress players use the word "Fun") was during one particularly nasty blizzard during which a statewide state of emergency had been declared, I had a customer call and the following exchange happned:

"Yeah, I heard they lockin' people up for being out on the road, so I need y'all to bring me [pizza] so I don't get locked up."

"So... You're telling me it's okay with you if one of my drivers gets 'locked up' instead?"

They hung up on me. (And for the record, no one was getting "locked up." If the cops had to come yank your dumb ass out of a ditch, however, you were probably getting a fat ticket.)
