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.

That's... not how pre-neolithic societies did things.
do u have a more accurate joke
And then she was branded a witch and feared and revered for her witchly powers because it seems pretty fucking stupid to believe someone truly has strange and dangerous powers and immediately threaten their life.
Later witch hunts were just ways to turn mob violence against specific individuals who the original accusers didn't actually believe were witches but wanted to kill.
I mean, yours is more accurate as far as like the Salem Witch Trials, but humans absolutely murder each other over 100% imagined beliefs. Just look at ... the vast majority of history.
The Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition for starters. You'd be silly to think none of the boots on the ground believed the propaganda.
