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.

Should that person never get another job ever again? "You said something bad so you and your family must starve!"
Fired? Yes.
Banned from all other jobs? No.
Banned from jobs that are customer service related? Yes.
Banned from jobs that are customer service related forever? No.
Being cancelled should be treated like a timeout. You won't eat your peas, fine no dessert. Well try again tomorrow.
This is harder when we shift this to talking about comedians. For a comedian to have a job, people have to want to go to see them specifically. If I go to a show, and have a notably bad experience, I'm probably not going to go see that person / group / whatever again, and if I see videos and read news articles about someone else's bad experience, that's also probably enough to make me not want to see them, too.
So, maybe celebrities that get cancelled should have to find a new industry to work in, if what they did is bad enough. At the very least, they need to change their image to the point that they're appealing to a different audience, if their old audience is no longer interested in seeing their show.
Seriously, why are we wasting time pitying celebrities who used their fame in stupid ways, like going on a slur ridden tirade at for audience
