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.

The very optimistic would suggest that maybe giving a cookie would inspire them to think deeper about the imbalance and how they could do better as a human being to others.
But realistically, they're going to take your cookie and then try to sell you that their cookies are better and you should buy them.
The way I see it in such a scenario there's no chance of it making them worse and at least its a tiny moment of human connection which can only be a good thing no matter how incalculably small.
If my cookie audibly cracks like that when I break it in half maybe he's right, especially if his name is Otis Spunkmeyer.
