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.

Do Americans actually do this?
No, this is mostly a Hollywood thing to indicate that the traffic is real bad and the driver is real mad. The reality is that birds aren’t allowed to drive, and probably wouldn’t even want to.
Yes, I used to work in a building in downtown SF that was "historic" (old) with windows that actually opened, and every week day starting around 4pm we'd all close the single-pane windows to slightly quiet the irritating honking that was 17 stories below us. It was still audible but a good pair of headphones had a chance of being successful.
All it ever took was one person's honk to start a chain reaction that would go on for hours.
People honk way less in America than most other countries I've been to
Its common all over the world tbh but you mostly see it in big cities
In most places I've been, no, but I've noticed that they do use the horn more on the east coast
