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.

It's so that people have a harder time saying "yes officer it was a Toyota Camry" unless they're familiar with the body style enough to know it isn't a Honda Accord without the markings. "A truck" is less descriptive than "A black Dodge Ram 1500."
Even better if you put the badge of another car on it.
Look, avoiding Undercovers is half the reason I can tell a car by it's headlights or taillights, so sorry Nissan Altima with paper plates, I can tell you're a 2008 from 150m, day or night.
Not everyone is as adept. (And that Altima was probably recently purchased used, tbf lol).
Also I've seen a ~25yo undercover minivan with the paint half worn to primer in my area, that trick is less reliable here since 2010ish.
