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.

No normal person when hearing cancer would think 'harmless everyday mutation' and not 'deadly growing thing'.
There's no difference. Cancer is cancer. Sometimes it's manageable by the immune system alone, sometimes it's fully and irreversibly malignant in multiple organs, usually it's somewhere between. There is no zero cancer, the best we get is small amounts. There is no zero exploitation, the best we get is small amounts.
Sometimes we get the best we can get. Usually, we get a treatable amount. With treatment, the growing thing can be combated before it becomes irreversibly deadly. But skip those treatments because they make you nauseous, and the deadly thing grows bigger.
You couldn't get zero exploitation (obviously, because that's not possible) so you skipped the treatment and now it's growing deadlier. You might as well have skipped chemo to huff essential oils. That's what you look like to the rest of us, the person skipping chemo to treat their cancer with incense and good vibes.
