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.

This is the comic that makes pandering public comics to promote their paid art
Which might be fine, but it seems like good context to know.
How is that relevant in this context?
Unless there's some context I'm missing, that business model sounds... reasonable?
What you're describing just sounds like advertisement.
It is true that I personally do not find most of her recent political comics to be particularly funny or insightful--which is fine, she does not have to draw to satisfy me--but there are plenty of her comics which are not about politics but about cats or silly reflections on life, especially before Trump got elected.
So in short, thank you very much for your comment because it totally inspired me to check this person out and find comics of theirs that I enjoyed! 😀
They threaten people who parody their work with DMCA

Here ya go.
That... is a really impressive amount of drama over such a middling comic.
It certainly is.
Interesting. You know I wonder…
If we were them, and worried about e.g. making rent, maybe we’d start a second pandercomic brand to pander to conservatives too
(Oh of course - being disingenuous is never ideal, thanks for pointing this out)
Apparently she has a lot of fans, because people are really offended by what I thought was a pretty neutral comment.
I guess that info is supposed to be secret or something?
Nah, it's supposed to matter.
