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.

It's exactly the opposite, stickly@ has given up on saving his own family and friends, when I asked them to insurrect. They are absolutely welcome to surrender. I have not.
I challenged them 🧵 to even dismantle tourist deportations, and downvoted my motion. I can face fascism to the barrel, but not by myself.
Are you?
I'm genuinely trying not to be mean, but this is some of the most cartoonish "tough guy" language I've seen in a long time.
You're literally just sitting at your home 6,000 miles away anonymously goading others into amassing weapons and armor to fight one of the largest super powers in the world, talking about how you're "willing to stare down the barrel of a gun," while whining about downvotes on a website and saying that you can't participate because you might get temporarily detained at the airport.
Can I not have sympathy for Americans getting sent to deathcamps simply because I do not want them dead? How is it cartoonish to have sympathy at destroying fascism whenever it crops up, when it affects me too? You think I don't have fascists raining down my neck because my imperialists never left?
I want everyone to live free. Be able to choose who they want to engage with, who to befriend, who to communicate, etc.. Since we know your current despot will not help us, I choose to help folks that I can. And those are you.
It is a challenge of priorities. I don't care about votes. Do you care to see your friends and family get abducted? That is the crux.
I don't. So I’m fighting to keep my loved ones safe. I am revolting. Are you?
Can you not tell us to kill each over your idiotic uninformed exaggerations?
Oh right, I forgot abductions are non-violent actions in America. How are they treating y’all in the encampments btw?
Do it yourself then. You're not doing jack shit and everyone knows it.
