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.

Sorry. No. I live outside of an Indiana town with a population of less than 60,000 and not a big tourist draw. Almost no one uses their turn signals here either in town or on the rural roads. The only difference is they break harder before they turn on the rural roads.
They break harder? I'm not familiar with this term, is it a regional thing?
They slam on their breaks even faster.
Oh, I was thinking of the definition of break, "a noticeable change in direction," not brake, "to slow or stop by or as if by a brake." Got it!
Oh, my fault. I always confuse those two.
A lot of people do, it just got me in this case because the meaning of break lined up with the action of turning onto county roads, so I thought it was some special thing.
