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.

Wow, quite wild to see some Lemmings get wooshed this hard by an Adam Ellis comic. Though I guess it's mostly aimed at his audience on Bluesky or Reddit. I follow him on the former. He's been experimenting a lot ever since he left Buzzfeed.

Anyway, look at the exaggerated arch in his back. Look at the barbie-font Jesus poster. Acknowledge Ellis' work is often very LGBT (when it's not horror, lol). He's poking fun at hypocrite religious folks, or maybe he's making fun of how very gay it is to get on your knees for Jesus. Or maybe however you interpret it... I mostly just giggled at that fucking ARCH of a back.

Basically, Christianity is so gay, lol.

As someone unfamiliar this was definitely a Poe's law type of post

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

Agreed. It's way easier to get in context from his bluesky, he doesn't call his comics Christian Comix lol.

I dont get it ... Or is it just homophobic?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 39 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It's a gay comic by a gay man about how gay it is to get on your knees and beg for a man (or two guys and their enby buddy) to give you what you want.

I love it. The woke Holy Trinity.

I’m pretty sure the joke is a gay thirst trap

Christian cartoon + not funny.

Well that tracks...

I won't object to someone doing this as long as they shut up about it, don't boast to me about it, and basically don't say any of that stuff in the speech bubbles under any circumstances. I find that these kinds of people are unbearable and eat other Christians alive rather than nurturing a community.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 5 points 1 hour ago

Eating people alive is pretty damn important in Christianity. They made a whole ass ritual about it. Sick cultists as they are.
