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.

I don't think the artist is implying that people driving to work "deserve" it. Just that it happens by nature of a typical commute time with sunrise and sunset.
ill say it, these east going zax are soft and uncultured, compared to us far superior west going zax.
So I guess next time you look for a house/job, make sure the house is east of your job so you have the sun in the back in the morning and in the evening.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
I think they deserve it. Engine exhaust and tire wear creates pollution that gives children lung cancer. Having a bright light in your eyes isn't as bad as lung cancer.
While I agree that exhaust gas and tire debris aren’t healthy, I don’t think we can reasonably say those cause lung cancer in children. Certainly not in any meaningful number.
Lung cancer only accounts for 0.2 percent of pediatric cancers. And even then, it’s hard to say exactly what caused it: genetics, second hand smoke, radon, asbestos exposure… Exhaust and tire debris MIGHT cause cancer in a particular child, but let’s not freak people out beyond what’s reasonable.
