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.

Things aren't looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

Here's how I see it: people have himmed and hawwed around while trump's America turns into a hellscape. Horrible things happening by the second, you can't refresh your news fast enough before another tragedy happens. We keep hearing about protesters in Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia. About people delivering groceries and running errands for people who are afraid to leave their house. I've never seen so many people in my town show up to protest. And I'm so fucking proud of these people.

Then something snaps and people really start showing up, standing outside in 20 below zero to let trump know they don't accept him. And I feel hope for the first time in weeks, months, years.

And someone comes in and says YOU'RE WRONG FOR FEELING GOOD EVERYTHING ISN'T PREFECT SO THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS WRONG THIS PROGRESS MEANS NOTHING STOP FEELING GOOD YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD

So, I get where you're coming from but also fuck you.
