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 really appreciate the onomatopoeia of "crash" finishing his sentence. It's a really clever use of panel flow, and let's it really sell the motion.

Enough other compliments have been made about how funny it is so I'm gonna nerd on your technical skills instead.

I do wish their was some more texture to the meat stick throne, but that's just cause I find the visual idea to be funny.

Thank you. I appreciate that you took the effort to give specific compliments and critique.

I agree about the meat stick throne. I wish I had taken a little more time with the watercolour application, maybe so that the red of the meat sticks would be the focus of the last panel, and not be competing with blues and pinks.

I also hesitated to show the trucker on a meat throne, because I wanted him to be less of a king and more of an equal participant in the revelry, but I couldn't think of another pose for him. Plus... meat stick throne!!

Just for fun, I'm attempting to attach another photo I took of the comic, in sunlight, with brighter colours.
