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.

Don't those blowers spread way more germs than just using a paper towel?
And you can open the door with a paper towel too. Also, paper is one of our most renewable resources, and most recyclable.
and still et's energy intense to recycle and a lot of paper (over 60%) is new paper from old woods in th easc of Europe.
I'm in the States so I'm not familiar with situation over there. Here we use super thick plots of trees that grow in about 10 years. We also pulp wood from managed forests where we can't afford to let it burn, like around major towns. We definitely used to clear cut, but it's not legal anymore.
