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.

So it's just like real life.

Those who argue for change are ridiculed.

I don't know about you but I think the people who argued in favour of abolishing slavery were not historically ridiculed as far as I've ever heard.

Can't say for sure about that, since we weren't there, but we are here now, and you can bet humanitarian and progressive voices are ridiculed today.

I can say for certain that they were, having read a book besides Harry Potter.

Shit, some American pre-Civil War slaver beat an abolitionist to death in Congress and got cheered for it in the South.

Here in the US we had a little scuffle based largely around slavery and those who wanted to abolish it were gunned down by the hundreds of thousands.

It took a while to get to that stage though.

Do you happen to remember who won that particular scuffle? And who had an enormous statue erected in memorial and is the most popular presidents in history? And whether slavery is in fact still legal or not?
