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.

Nah, the artist is Lainey.molnar on instagram who hss been posting since 2020, at least according to this proxy website. Her artsyle pretty much always looked like this, and AI art definitely wasn't that good back in 2020.

Funnily enough, her stuff is supposed to be abpit women empowerment and overall left-leaning stuff, but I always got a weird feeling from her posts and art. Lo and behold there's a long ass reddit post about her craziness (natural treatments for mental illness, alcoholism, potentially faking queer identity, etc.) Also, I guess she might be an original art stealer, aka a tracer lol. At least tracing still requires some effort.

NOTE: Just because this artist is a bad person doesn't mean people can be bigots. Don't reply to this with some "huh looks like the SJW feminist was actually bad, women ☕️" shit. I will block you.

EDIT: Read the reddit post again and apparently she's been known to recreate her image by creating and destroying blogs over and over. Idk when she started drawing, but she used to have a myspace blog, so once again, not AI. Just human slop.

Even this specific post like, yes I know that there are men who try to somehow weasel their way out of condoms using that logic and those guys are bad and wrong.

But on it's face both of these things are valid. Birth control frequently sucks a LOT for women, and condoms can be unpleasant (not to the same extreme don't even try it) for guys. It's not a competition, nor is it mutually exclusive.
