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 used to work facilities and maintenance for a department store when i was a kid, and escalators are nothing to fuck around with. Those motors are are capable of moving 8 tons up an entire story, and nothing will stop them from doing so. Anything that gets into the gear system will be crushed and destroyed, and your bones won't even phase the motor.
Yep 100%, it’s real shit, wouldn’t even joke about this happening tbh. I saw a horrible video a long time ago of.. ahem let’s just say a malfunctioning escalator in China. Horrifying.
I remember that video too. The lady saving her kid was gut wrenching.
