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.

What the fuck am I going to do about it? Get arrested bringing the people responsible a lake city quiet pill?
Well what do you have to lose?
The trick is that so much is tied to our employment, including health care. Wanna start a ruckus and get fired? Cool, you'll lose your health insurance and the cancer will kill you. It's not like the company down the street is any better.
And sometimes the company you work for, or the company down the street, is causing the cancer.
Or your out trying to protect your neighbors, and ICE or DHS shoots cancerous chemicals into the streets.
This is America.
Everything. Everything we have.
Let me tell you what it's like to be poor, since it seems you don't understand. The less money and agency you have, the more every little thing counts.
Our families, our pets, our few nice things... They are everything, and they can be taken from us if we slip up just once.
