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.

And of course, the bus wasn't going to come. But unfortunately, humanity hasn't yet developed the technology to remotely notify people, so we didn't know.
We waited there for 15 minutes, with the toddler continuously asking "When comes bus?". And then the sheer betrayal, when bus did not come soon. She had to walk another 20 minutes with her mum to where the bus was supposed to go...
