- 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.

Where is Russia's leash on Uncle Sam?
Given the depiction of Ukraine and the ass they put on Israel, I suspect the leash is on the artist.
Nooooooooo and that artist is more than happy to give you a long list of theory on how Russian imperialism isn't actually imperialism.
I mean, there's a certain amount of eye-rolling you have to do when an American - hands still bloody from Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and Syria - points a finger and shouts "Imperialist!"
But the most damning indictment of post-Soviet Russia is the degree to which Putin collaborated with Bush Jr and Obama (and Mohammed bin Salman and Benjamin Netanyahu and Narendra Modi) decades earlier, during the War On Terror. This nightmarish turf war in Ukraine is just the end result of fascist powers in their inevitable falling out after failing to divide up the spoils. Trying to be "pro-Russian" in 2025 feels a bit like being "pro-France" in 1783.
