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.

Don't ever let these assholes talk you out of using the goddamn societal safety net. And don't let your pride do it either.
It was built as the fucking floor of standards. Like, hey, people should be guaranteed 80% of their monthly nutrition needs.
You are paying for it. It's there for you to use when you need it. Would you be squeamish about submitting an insurance claim? It's the exact same fucking thing, except it is being stigmatized by idiots who want to collapse society so they can profit off of poverty.
My brother had to tell me this when I needed food stamps after a decade of working, but felt embarrassed. They really pulled one on us.
