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.

Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.
Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.
Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.
I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?
I've been having this problem since 2016.
No matter how many filters you throw at it, there's always images, videos, and people self-censoring to get around them.
It's infected everyone and everything, like a virus.
Searching for a way out. I'm sure there's somewhere safe out there...
Ironically, for all that I'm sick of hearing about AI AI AI AI AI AI AI everywhere, maybe a really good prompt could plug the few remaining holes..
Honestly I'm surprised that "You won't have to hear about Trump again" wasn't motivation enough for people to get to the polls
This was 100% one of the most shocking things about all of this.
