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've noticed there's an overwhelming amount of people that are subscribed to this community for some reason, that tend to majorly over analyze the strip this is the third post I've seen today where the top three is either complaining or something negative about the post. It's weird
Being said I don't think this person is really complaining, I definitely don't agree with the juxtaposition of don't speak out when abused because I didn't get that from that post at all and I still don't understand how they came to that conclusion but, it's a trend I've noticed
I come here from all.
Though when I do post a comment about the accuracy of a joke or some kind of serious angle, I don't intend to imply "stop having fun!"
I enjoy learning and seeing things that challenge my assumptions, so when I comment a "joke killer" comment, it's meant as a "while we're on the topic, this might be interesting".
I reject the idea that the only reply one should make to a joke is "haha" and then move on. Especially when the response makes a good point, like IMO the parent comment to this one did: some interpretations of "snitches get stitches" are more about protecting abusers than discouraging betrayal.
The comic was still funny.
