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.

Nothing against you, OP. I just don't enjoy these comics. They're telling me things I already knew and they're not particularly funny while doing it.
If being relatable was the only thing you need to tell a joke, then "how about that airplane food?" wouldn't have become the stand-in joke for a "bad comedian".
It is worth mentioning that the artist still draws silly comics that are not about politics; they just aren't the ones that get posted here very often.
Yeah they are pretty terrible. The problem is the op is a great poster and blocking them would block good content and this community has other stuff I like. I wonder if I can block by a multiword keyword..
Iirc PieFed has a much more robust filtering mechanism than Lemmy, so it might do this if that's what you desire
the term is "agreedian" - a comedian who says things you agree with, not ones that are funny.
I mean everyone has different tastes, it's impossible for someone only to post things everyone likes
Yeah, I know. It's just this one broke the camel's back, so to speak, and I felt compelled to comment.
Yeah, comics are supposed to make laugh. This is just preachy shit.
I don't believe that, comics are comics and can cross an entire range of emotional triggers just like movies or a TV show. Many opt for comedy yes, some make you sad, some are "preachy" etc
