Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

"No, I prefer to donate money directly, and if your company really cared about the cause then they would just donate without asking the customers to foot the bill"

Of course, the 9/10 times the cashier agrees and is only asking because their supervisor could be within earshot and decide to reprimand them for not asking.

Yeah. I know you're just adding it for the comment. But don't actually bother the cashier with some grandstanding or lecturing. Honestly, a good "nah, I don't like kids" is a much better response to brighten their day. They've heard Karen complain about the guilt trip nature 100x already.

"I don't like kids. Not raw, anyway."

"I love babies: they're great roasted with small potatoes" - some baddie in one of the original Mad Max films.

meh, there's a lot more nuance to this.

(all assuming the charity is legic)

The companies aren't really saying "we want to donate this money". They are just nudging people to donate a little bit, with the goal that if a lot of people donate a little, the charity will still have money in the end (and the company gets a tax break).

You need to understand, that almost all of the people nudged will not donate to a charity otherwise. And now they have the chance to donate a little bit without much effort.

In the end, good charities have more money for their work. And that's always a good thing

Companies don't get tax breaks for their customers' donations.

Depends on the country
