A recent comic strip by "B***** Party" has resonated with urban dwellers around the world, capturing the bittersweet reality of city life. The four-panel comic strip, created by the artist known as rusty.creates on Instagram, uses a minimalist and cartoonish art style to depict a love-hate relationship with one’s city.

In the first panel, a simple, blocky skyline of buildings is shown, with one building colored in yellow amidst the white ones. The text reads, "I love my city," setting a tone of affection for the urban environment.

The second panel shifts to a street scene, highlighting a sidewalk lined with tall buildings. A yellow door stands out among the wear and tear depicted on the walls. The text humorously states, "The streets that smell like garbage," a sentiment echoed by city dwellers from Los Angeles to San Francisco and beyond.

The third panel takes the viewer inside a subway station, where a sign indicates an "ETA: 4 hrs." The text below reads, "The subway that never arrives," a common frustration for those relying on public transport in major cities like New York City and Philadelphia.

The final panel brings a touch of humor and acceptance, showing a person with a neutral expression hugging the skyscr****s from the first panel. The text above reads, "It's terrible and it's mine," encapsulating the complex emotions of city residents who, despite the flaws, still feel a deep connection to their urban home.

User comments on Reddit reveal a mix of shared experiences and humor. One user remarks, "This is how people from nice suburbs and smaller urban areas see people from LA and San Francisco." Another user humorously notes, "No one p***ed on my doorstep today! :D," highlighting a common urban woe. Comments like "F***ing MBTA" and "Loved NYC, now live in Europe… still smells like p*** but everything else is *actually better*" add to the discussion, showcasing the universal challenges of city living.

The comic has also sparked conversations about various cities, with users mentioning places like Philly, New Orleans, and Rome. One comment humorously recalls a comedian’s take: "I love New York because when it rains it makes its own gravy."

Overall, the comic by "B***** Party" has struck a chord with many, offering a lighthearted yet truthful glimpse into the daily life of city inhabitants. Whether it’s the smell of garbage, unreliable public transport, or the general wear and tear, this comic encapsulates the reality that, despite its flaws, the city is still home to many who embrace its imperfections with a sense of humor and love.

My former building was in SF's Financial District and the smell of sewage every morning before you start work is enough to make you hate everything.
