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 way easier and (initially) cheaper to criminalize it and strut around saying you fixed the issue than actually dealing with the circumstances that cause the problem and roll out solutions that'll only see result in the next election cycle.
I live in an area with extreme high homeless population but we've all noticed over the past year that homeless people who had become familiar faces for years, are no longer there. They're simply gone. Many of us speculate there is an unpublicized "ICE" type of program but directed at the homeless, the homeless are abducted by appointed govt workers and taken to another location and goodness knows where that other location is or if they're even still alive much longer after being taken off the streets. But lemme tell ya the streets at night have been a lot emptier & quieter the past year. ๐
