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.

Excellent!
Never *LIVE west of your job unless you work nights
(previously used the word "work" which made it redundant sorry)
I usually try and work on location of my job
Makes sense. Wherever you are at any time, just try to be to the west of that if you can.
I do and it blows. In fall the sun will be lower in the sky when I go home and reflect perfectly off the road so that everything is blinding.
Eh, I just took out a restraining order and changed to a night shift and now the sun never bothers me.
restraining order
Against the sun..? Can you do that??
I do. Its only a problem for about 3-4 weeks every year though. After that, the sun is high enough in the morning to not bother anyone.
Counted one crash due to this on my commute this year.
Nice, new job search constraint
Witnessed a car crash a few years ago right in front of me because of this. I was the second car in line heading south at a traffic light. When our light turned green, a car heading west in the late afternoon ran the red light and smashed into the car in front of me.
I saw them coming and said, "Watch out!" but of course that did no good. The driver of the westbound car said she lost the traffic light in the sun and didn't realize it was red. I have no idea why you'd continue on at 40 mph if you weren't sure you had a green light, but here we are.
I had chosen that route home intentionally to avoid driving into the sun. Had I been the first car in that line, I might have been involved in the crash despite my caution.
This is your punishment for inventing commutes.
My experience with Australia so far.
