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.

What risk? Sometimes government officials have to do somewhat unpopular things. Elected officials are just supposed to represent their constituency, though. If they aren't willing to take a risk to serve their constituents, they shouldn't be in a position of power. If you really believe it has to be done, and you really are in it to serve, you'll accept the cost/risk. If that scares you too much, you'll stay home.
And you can bet there'd be FAR fewer collisions if the spikes were present. Driving isn't a right any more than having political office is, so it's perfectly reasonable to expect people to accept the risk if they want the benefit.
