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.

Third day of rush hour public transport. I just know im about to come down with the lurgy
Yep I'm just waiting for mine to hit
I wish wearing masks on public transport remained normalised
It still can be. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from wearing one. I still do on occasion.
I think they're saying they wish other people would wear them when they're sick, as most masks are a lot better at blocking outgoing viruses than incoming ones
Yeah but the main benefit is everyone else wearing them to prevent the spread in the first place.
They wouldn't look cool though.
We've got one member of the household down with COVID, one down with a cold (so far) and two feeling like a bag of smashed crabs. The Autumn lurgy has hit like a steam shovel this year.
Lurgy?
A word used a lot here as a humorous stand in for colds etc - https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/lurgy
Gotcha. Thanks!
Bicycles, my brother!
The thing that's driving me mad. Stuffed carriages, everyone coughing and sneezing around, not a single mask in sight, and bRo It'S jUsT tHe CoLd, but it's still fucking annoying to deal with, and I wouldn't have to if people weren't inconsiderate as hell. And especially at this day and age when we're supposed to get people to use public transport because of the environment, and every single atom of mine is screaming for my own little personal space where I don't have to go down with the snot plague just because I'm locked in with another 63472864 people coughing into my neck. RRRraaawr, I hate public transport in the cold.
