- 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.

Ducking is a fairly sacred community thing among Jeep owners, most specifically with Wranglers and now Gladiators. Ducks are always gifted as a random act of kindness, so a Jeep with a lot of ducks suggests that person has been rather active in the community.
I can't tell if this is real or not.
It is. Jeep people give ducks to each other. It’s weird.
Idk I think that sounds kinda nice, it's rewarding positive behavior instead of being a dickhead so I think it's cool.
And apparently it just started recently during the pandemic?
EDIT: not sure why I was down voted, but yes this phenomenon started in 2020 like I thought:

Its real. In the mercedes community (S class or better) we use dildos for the same purpose.
This is so interesting. A friend of mine drives a Tesla and apparently with Teslas it's bricks.
I used to want a Jeep, the comments in this post as well as this insight into the subculture have turned me right around.
The comment you're replying to here sounds adorable though.
Personally I've found that no matter what car you buy there is a surprisingly large number of people that want to shit on it, and on you. Like, amazingly large and this thread is a great example.
So I guess you're stuck with thay no matter what, might as well get what you personally want and for your own reasons. Not what you're afraid people will think about it.
Or they're like my neighbor, whose dash was completely covered a day or two after he got his Jeep. Plus handprint stickers on his mirrors, which I guess is another Jeepstagram trend?
As a Gearhead, I find this so dumb. I don't want people to leave trash on my vehicle, and I don't want my dash cluttered with toys.
Normally, a driver won't want anything on the dash. Specially colourful stuff because it would cause reflections on the wind-shield.
so, virtue signalling then.
that's a stupid as shit take and a stupid as shit phrase but ok
