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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My interpretation combined with my observations of the world is as follows.:
Bourgeoisie art scene is a sanitized/toned down version of proletarian art, which could be called more "raw" or "real". Fancy artists act as sort of explorers of raw art and pre-digest it so the (diluted) message can still somewhat reach those who wouldn't have looked at that real art.
They make more money simply because they come from this social class. They get "inspired" by poor artists and copy their style, making more money out of it.
Are they artists? Yeah... Are they true innovators? No way!
