- 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).

This is where I mention that for many, the border crossed them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Guadalupe_Hidalgo
And the US was not great about it's treaty obligations, especially with regards to property rights.
Like the Brits that live or vacation in Spain and claim to not be foreigners there. 🙄
As a British immigrant who lives in Catalunya, so much this ... I live and work in Castilian, pay taxes, etc, but have precisely 1 British friend here because all the others have been unbearable.
Gibraltar, Spain, whats really the difference! No no, I don't come from Oxford, I'm practically Spanish already!
I mean, I have literally overheard a cruise ship 'tourist' disembarked in Cozumel, Mexico, loudly complaining about the lack of English speaking staff in the surrounding restaurants and stores.
The hilarious part is, just about every Mexican working in that part of the island speaks great English, since tens of thousands of cruise ship morons get offloaded in that same spot 6 days a week.
I've traveled all over this planet. If you're having actual, real problems communicating with locals, it's probably because you're an asshole.
For what it's worth, I enjoyed this comic.
I've been in Florida this week. I have a Hispanic name and a dark complexion, so they keep trying to speak Spanish to me.
I'm not bad, but every time its happened its while I'm dead tired and I think I just can't understand language for a second before I go
"Huh? Oh, uuuuuh, sorry. English please?"
Uber, car rental, hotel, doordash
Its great to be a native Spanish speaker in Miami
Shame I'm not that
Another bot account? What's with all these new accounts immediately spamming just the comics community?
Edit to specify: These accounts make six posts in comics, then post a music video link in a different community.
Oh no! Not more content! gasp

Wow! What superb detective and deductive reasoning skills you have! You really cracked the case of the new account posting content to the Lemmy community.
Welp, thanks for the warm welcome to the community.
I thought you guys here were better than redditors but apparently not.
Man what's with all these new accounts defending themselves when they're mistakenly called out?
Welcome to the fediverse! Only slightly better in a few small ways than the alternative!
From what I've seen it's no better. Just another flavour.
another flavor is better than one, especially when that one has been astroturfed to hell.
