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.

Wait. So they're not some right wing pundit?
It's more like the Colbert Report back in the day, an exaggerated right winger who is so obviously wrong it's funny.
The character "Kelly" isn't explicitly right wing, instead he's supposed to be as wrong as possible. As an example rather than "Pro-choice" or "Pro-life" Kelly is "Pro-abortion", because he hates children and thinks they should be aborted before they have a chance to destroy their parents lives. Or the comic where Kelly opposed drug legalization... because police dramas wouldn't have anything write about.
Oddly, Kelly's "wrong as possible" stance does seem to frequently align with right wing politics, for some reason.
My favorites are the ones where he’s dedicating a whole comic to some petty personal grievance, like a grocery store being out of a product he had a coupon for.
