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.

"Thomas was sick of this shit"
Liked this enough to go find the creator. Sharing a link to their work, unlike OP.
unlike OP
This is fucking stupid. The artist's details are included in the image OP shared, exactly as the artist left them. You didn't "go find" shit, you googled a couple words from the image. Grow up. Share a link and say thanks for the post.
Not going out of your way to crop the artist's info out is the bare minimum. Friction is everything, if there's a link, there's a way higher chance folks will visit.
Ok, double down on the sanctimonyβyou wouldn't've seen the comic if OP hadn't shared it.
Homie just needed that win and to be able to pat themselves on the back before they went and huffed some farts they canned in 2023.
I'm glad I saw it, but that doesn't mean OP (and others) can't do better.
Based and Tau pilled.
Seems like a farsighted move to get rid of the upper class
Thomas the tank engine says:
"We have left a phrase incomplete in "No masters, no kings!" We neglect "No owners!" We must right the wrongs of history and form a revolution for the proletariat! Eliminate the ownership class! Toot toot mother fucker!"
The greater good
Stop it!
No luck catching them swans then?
Crusty jugglers!
ugh that's dark
Since a healthcare system does not have to be designed in such a way that people inevitably fall by the wayside, this depiction of the trolley problem seems to me to be a pretty US-American thing.
I see it like this: the guy on the lever is also the CEO of a health insurance company and chooses the option of eliminating a competitor, accepting that his even more profit-optimized approach will lead to even more helpless people dying, which would not have been necessary if he had left everything as it was and not eliminated the competitor. The US thing about this is that there is no third option in the first place, where nobody dies because of the healthcare system. This very basic fact is not noticed, addressed or even criticized by anyone. Instead, even those who will die unnecessarily agree with the guy in charge in his decision to sacrifice them on the altar of higher profits because a hated person will die with them - they even agree with his statement that it would be for the greater good, instead of asking why it is even necessary for them to be tied to the tracks and run over.
This seems odd to me, but is probably only logical if you're used to seeing the healthcare system as a business like any other. I don't really get it tho.
Its also a problem for Alaska Hawaii and all of the uda over sea territories.
