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.

But also look at the third panel. The road has turned to dust, the sign has a tree growing through it. There’s clearly been no bus for at least half a century. You don’t need to know what that character is to pick up on something off
You can't see the road in any prior panel, so I don't know if the path has changed at all, same with the sign, etc.
I was actually confused in the exact same way. Your comment made me understand of course. But it's very easy to think this is just a bus stop in some forest somewhere and this is just how it looks. He's talking to an elf girl after all. I don't think it's unreasonable to be under the assumption that a mystical forest bus stop would just look like this.
Bro just stop you're being a dick to someone who doesn't understand a comic.
This community doesn't need this sort of toxicity
It does makes sense for me. There is also a possibility that the state in the third panel is the same as the first and second panel given they're closed-up. That's why there should be some clues shows in either 1st or 2nd panel to show that the state has changed. Given that no clues are given, readers can make wild assumption.
