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.

I like these, I just wish there was a joke beyond "Everett attacks shitty dudes"
I am absolutely loving these for showing someone in the early 1900s was making art about how absolutely shitty people were.
On the downside it is clear that society has learned nothing.
Not just art. They were making memes. Every strip has the same structure: Everett makes a statement of common decency, some random dude disagrees, then Everett physically assault the random dude. This is literally a meme template, from the early 1900s.
Question is: will the meme evolve in a similar fashion that we see modern memes evolve? Or does the fact that it has a single author prevent this natural evolution?
