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.

Maybe don't buy a f9000 when you live in suburbia. Maybe don't unless you need it for your job...
Don't worry, we didn't give them the idea. Ford filed for a patent to do exactly this in 2021 and published it in 2023.

Even if you dont live in suburbia very few people need these trucks (a comment which enrages a shocking number of people)
I know this because I own 20+ chickens, 6 ducks, 12 goats, 3 dogs, and the neighborhood cat decided he's mine (and the land to go with it obviously), and I've managed to do everything needed for all those animals with a 2018 Nissan Leaf! Not only not a truck, but an EV with half the range of a modern one!
I'm planning to rent a pickup truck for a day in a weekend or two so I can haul away this old shed that fell apart and some other somewhat big stuff while I've got it there. In 3 years of being here with these animals that's 1 time I've needed a vehicle that could haul, and it's a $30 rental for the day I need it
This applies to any kind of car, not just trucks.
