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.

It's art. It's meant to provoke. Now put yourself in a vegan's shoes for a moment and look again at this comic, and you see the grotesquerie of animal based agriculture laid bare.
It's social comentary. Really really good social comentary. Edit - not vegan myself, but I get it.
Vegan here: I am still grossed out about how Dave exemplified drugging, abduction, compliance, murder, and cannibalism.
There so many more ways to do all the above without eviscerating your readers.
You're supposed to be. I'm sorry you feel art is only supposed to make you feel good.
Wait, Dave intended to eviscerate his audience‽
Don't patronize me. I am extremely aware art is supposed to evoke emotions.I am telling YOU can do that in MANY MORE WAYS than to have your audience against you, and your thesis.
Congratulations on having an opinion of your own. 5 or 6 billion people, probably, not including me, are very happy for you.
Honestly, do yourself the favor of blocking my entire domain. Our instance doesn't need your insignificant opinions either.
Ah. The echo chamber crew has spoken. Never shall you be offended by opinions that aren't your own. Blessed be your journey. Turn off the internet and all your dreams will come true.
Astounding they got 1800 anime fans to agree that quickly, maybe they're onto something.
Next time you do have a significant opinion on something, just keep in mind this conversation going forward. I do not need your humility on my dao.
Artists don't give two shits about my humility or your dao.
The world must be a scary place without others to think for you.
Uh, what?
The extreme negative reaction is part of it. Art plays all emotions, including inciting an audience against you. Sometimes artists don't do it for us, they do it to see what happens.
Did you honestly intend to patronize me?
...art plays all emotions?
So, your art is to patronize others…?
I like to think I work with the full gamut.
All you had to say was “yes.”🤦♀️
Congratulations! Go tell all the artists how you feel about this. I am certain they care very deeply about your needs and will be totally subservient to your requirements. Artists are really cool about that sort of thing. They aren't fond of rocking the boat.
