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.

Because no one posts a sign like that at a garage sale. It's very clearly meant to represent a common experience, and that would be selling online.
Cartoonist don't necessarily draw things based on what's commonly happened to people. Often they're just drawing things that are funny regardless if whether they're realistic. There's just nothing I can see in the images that shows either way.
Sure, but I think it's pretty obvious here they are trying to relate to a common frustrating experience people have. And the funniest way to show that isn't going to be two guys at a computer having the same conversation.
