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 miss the whimsical everyday relatable bits this strip used to be...it's getting old with the non-stop political theme. Not that I don't agree with the stance, but as a non-US internet user I just...don't...fucking...care anymore.
Sorry the US falling to fascism means you can't enjoy certain comics any more. ๐ฅ
Even better: certain comics written and drawn by citizens of the US.
They're historically relatable because they're based on author's life. The author's life currently happens to be living in a country where one constantly worries about these topics.
fwiw this is when you find out who's on your side (i.e. who speak up during bad times) and who's not (i.e. who ignore the situation or support the people in power.)
Oh please, as if it's only the US having massive issues...They're not, they're just the most loud mouthed about it online and it gets tiring. There's only so many fucks to give before fatigue sets in. While their situation is truly shit, it's also by far not even close to the worst were dealing with at the moment. So yeah, I'm tapping out on the subject of US political drama for a while, that doesn't mean I don't sympathise with them.
That's fine, but complaining that comic creators are making comics about topics important to them is silly. Ignore them and move on.
One thing that worries me is in the past europe, canada, australia, seemed to be on the forefront of societal improvements. Compared to the us they still are but its much more piecemeal and I feel we are leading the way in a contagious enshitification thing. I mean like didn't the uk get rid of their post???
Everything is political. Don't be such a nerd.
