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.

Fuck Kroger, they buy up good grocery chains and turn them into the Amazon of grocery stores except they don't have everything they only have one popular brand and then their copy of it, the speed at which they are copying products is truly amazing.
Or they could do what Wegmans does and offer their store brand EXCLUSIVELY. Drives me nuts.
Isn't that every big chain though? Safeway does the same thing
Yeah kinda, but they've really ramped it up, they used to only copy like one variety of an item but now they'll just copy the whole product line and put them in similar looking boxes.
Here I thought Kroger owned Safeway. Turns out that merger was actually blocked. Albertsons owns Safeway and the merger between Albertsons and Kroger was blocked in Dec 2024.
Even if it had gone through, the practice was being done before that date. My point is that Kroger is not unique
