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.

Isn't it bots and literal children 90% the time anyway?
I don't get why people use the internet for fighting about stuff when you can just get updoots for nothing but being nice and showing your ass a little.
Depends. Sometimes it's paid shills from foreign countries.

Unfortunately, it is the current United States president and more than 50% of people voted for him in the last election.
I understand the temptation to dismiss people on the internet like this as bots. But it’s unfortunately part of our reality.
If you want to start to grasp why people are like this I can recommend starting with this video. If you want a TL;DW, the direct answer starts around 40 minutes, but the rest is important context.
50% of people who voted voted for him.
there are also a lot of people who didnt vote
Don't forget the fraud
I wouldn't normally say this but it seems warranted in a thread about "Factism". Trump did not win over 50% of the popular vote. He won with 49.8% in 2024 and 46.1% in 2016.
