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.

More than 1 million copies sold, but yet I get downvoted if I say I see nothing but bad parenting in all directions, with very few exceptions.

Bad parenting is widespread, but far from universal.

In terms of prevalence, a worldwide meta-analysis estimated rates of 12.7% for sexual abuse, 16.3% for physical neglect, 18.4% for emotional neglect, 22.6% for physical abuse, and 36.3% for emotional abuse [3]. These data indicate that childhood maltreatment is globally widespread, affecting the lives of millions of children.

Anecdotally, I've found that people with bad childhoods tend to befriend each other. Every person that I've instantly clicked with has later revealed a history of long-term childhood maltreatment. I think this is why some people see bad parenting everywhere, and others find it unthinkable.

I think there are more than a million parents, champ.
