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.

"Telling them lies" lol its called newspapers, radios, and television, which is older than 1999. At least with the invention of smartphones, people can share videos to crosscheck facts (for those willing to seek the truth anyways). the murderer who killed George Floyd would be walking free without a phones with cameras and the internet that allows this to get spread.
2nd panel (2010) is valid tho
As for pandemic? Y'all didn't pay attention in history class? Black plague? Only thing that stopped them from going worldwide was the travel technplogy was slower (they didn't have planes)
4th panel (2024) is very USA-Centric, AFIAK the EU doesn't have such lawless "grab people off the streets" right now.
Nope, and since our governments are virtually all coalitions it's much more difficult for something like that to happen here. I'm thankful for the style of government my country has, where everyone needs to make concessions. It has its drawbacks, but it does protect the country against this type of power grab.
2nd panel: in 2010, I think jellyfin didn't exist yet, so there are now better ways to own media, too
