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.

In Spanish we ask for a café negro or café negrito all the time and guess how many people are offended about it? Zero.
Nobody is offended by it in English, either. This comic is, y'know, a joke.
Believe it or not, I've met two white people, both from the Southern U.S., who would look around and whisper the word "black" when they used it. When talking about black people, but also in other contexts.
I’m guessing you don’t remember a few years back when a YouTuber got upset about a country called “Montenegro”?
Never underestimate the power of Americans to get offended, especially on another’s behalf.
Or ufc fighter John Jones getting offended by skinny negro jeans.
This has nothing to do but Martian man Hunter secret identity is John Jones, and Martian name is J'onn J'onzz LMAO 🤣
I never knew that happened. My god, people have become unhinged with the class guilt
I’m also pretty sure the N word got derived from that general base of “negro = black”.
Because you don't suffer from the White Savior Industrial Complex and its' war on words.
Won't you please think of the poor rich white people who are certain that everybody is weak and offended by everything?
