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.

Electricity for my EV is 8x cheaper than my old V6 per mile. It’s 4x cheaper than my wife’s PHEV when it’s using gas, 2x as cheap when in electric. Even if you’re burning through tires you’re straight up speaking FUD.
Most of my driving is longer range, a lot of it in the winter, actual winter, I live really far up north.
An EV that gets me home in the winter is about twice as expensive to buy as a gas car that is good enough, both used. Difference in deprecation alone is more than my fuel costs.
I'd have to drive 50% more to justify electric over gas.
So you have a use case that isn’t the norm.
Anyone who only drives a modest amount of miles every year purchase price is almost always the dominant factor.
