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.

"When the Nazis took the Communists, I remained silent. I wasn't a communist, after all.

When they imprisoned the social democrats, I remained silent. I wasn't a social democrat, after all.

When they took the union members, I remained silent. I wasn't a unionist, after all.

When they took me, there was none left who could protest.

Good English version too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Thanks. I translated it on the fly, because it isn't on the English version of his bio page.

There's a lot of versions and variations of this, all saying the same thing. Including the comic above. I don't think any of them are wrong, as long as the message is heard :)
