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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'd argue it's going against the typical propaganda, which is saying that the poor, unemployed, drug using people at the bottom of the rung are miserable, stupid, hate their life and you should always fear that position in life. The solution presented is to work, for the benefit of a wealthy few. A comic that shows this station in life as desirable and good, that people living outside of the rat race can be happy, is subversive. It's not saying "know your place and stay there", it's saying "you can still have beauty in your life even if you're not wealthy".
