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.

Interesting. Why haven't I heard about this before?
Maybe you avoided shock videos? It has been a quite common shock video on the Internet for the longest time, though I guess in more recent times it's relatively tame compared to the rest.
It was very common to stumble over it in the mid and late 2000s at least, and into the 2010s.
Personally I only know of this whole thing because of someone sending me that video way back when, and my curiosity made me look it up.
I'm young, and I've never been sent any of the gore shit by anyone, couldn't even get the Kirk video, and I really did try to get it. Never even heard Dwyer's name, I'd think that a congressman committing suicide on public television would be more well known. Maybe it is and I'm just in a bubble.
