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.

MODERATORS
I've always liked the message an image like this conveyed. Being independent, going your own way, liking a bit of type 2 fun. But at the same time if you take it literally, it reminds me that doing precisely this is often frowned upon for different reasons.
According to the principle of leave no trace, you should ideally stick to the already established trails. The parks in my region all require visitors to stay in the trails, and camp in designated sites unless it's the back country. It's kind of difficult to do something like this in the real world without being kind of a jerk.
Also, life is discriminatory and we have evolved a fucked up way of socially distancing ourselves from people that society considers eccentric.
So even if I understand the message, it also makes me think about how doing something like this can often be hard and isolating.
Teddy Roosevelt used to hike in straight lines, and whatever you encountered, you had to navigate. Mountains, rivers, whatever.
