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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don't make me laugh and they don't have a real message.
People aren't sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.
Without realising they're preaching to the choir.
I don't think a comic has to be funny per se. That's why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what's going on here as well.
Comics don't have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is "Maus".
And if you don't like/get the message, that's fine. To each their own.
Pizzacake definitely isn't funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
