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.

How many lives were saved as a result of the canal and the dam? These were public works anyway. Profitable for a few, sure. But publicly bankrolled and broadly beneficial for the continent at-large.
One one track is a pile of money and on another is a collection of workers without hardhats and safety boots, perhaps.
have you considered poetry? this was beautiful and picturesque
The secret is imagery.
That's ok, guy at the lever and the rest of his buddies are working to accelerate that process

If you're lucky! Many die young from the prioritization of profit over public safety.
