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.

Omg, just because he said he's a Nazi doesn't mean he actually is one. You need to remember he's autistic. He's on the spectrum. Are really harassing this poor man on something he can't control?!
Speaking of can't control. There are people with a condition called hemiballismus that have rapid violent outstretching of one arm. Even these people don't look as much like a Nazi as Elon did.
Nazi on the spectrum.
I imagine there were a bunch at the camps who loved counting
I feel like have heard more unintentional demonizing of autistic people in the last week in defense of Elon than I have ever heard in my life. And I've heard a lot.
And there is zero indication he has ever actually been evaluated for autism.
I just love how this whole affair and people* using autism as an apology just makes it seem like autists are all braindead, naive and entirely unaware that the way we behave and ourselves communicates something about us. We might not always know just what it communicates or how we ought to behave to communicate, but I'm pretty sure it I did my best impression of some figure I adore, I'd do it in the full knowledge that it communicates "I like this figure and I wish to be like them".
*not you, I understand your comment to be a parody, but the pattern it parodies obviously exists
