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.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I respect Tesla for actually building something that looks like the concept. Modern vehicles all look too similar.

i get what you're saying generally, but specifically that's like saying deodorants smell too similar so i commend gary for shitting his pants and walking around with a distinct odor.

There's usually a good reason that concept cars aren't mass produced as-is. In the cybertruck's case, it's many reasons, which were all ignored.

Just for novelty's sake, I really appreciate them following through it (kinda, since they adjusted the cybertruck dimensions a little bit)

It's the new gold standard for douchebag detection, so I guess I appreciate that about the design.

hmm, seems like that has to have a name where you try to simplify something but you slowly realize why each piece was needed. Best I could find is "Chesterton’s Fence".

There’s an unwritten rule in the remote Australian Outback. When traversing vast cattle farms on endless gravel roads, every once in a while, you might come across a seemingly random gate. The rule is to leave the gate as you found it. If it’s open, keep it that way. If it’s closed, shut it behind you. The reason is simple: You shouldn’t make assumptions about the gate’s purpose. That’s essentially the idea behind Chesterton’s Fence, a principle everyone in the business of enacting change should know.
