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.

Simple. If you name it, you don't eat it. Also, most carnivores taste terrible so we avoid eating those.
We name ๐ฎ They're really super affectionate, smart and playful. Our cow used to watch for my dad around the time he would come back.
We bought a 4H pig at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ.
How the hell is that cruel you?
How is it not cruel to you to buy and kill a living breathing conscious being? Pigs are intelligent creatures. Don't they deserve an ounce of respect? They're not inanimate objects you know.
How would you feel if it was a dog? "We bought a 4H dog at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ."
How would you feel if it was a slave? "We bought a 4H slave at the county fair once. The kid named her Barbie. It was one hell of a BarbieQ."
Why does it all of a sudden become bad if it is a dog or a human? Don't we share the same capacity to suffer? Sure, there is a huge difference between a pig and a human, no doubt, but both are living breathing beings who feel pain and pleasure, have friends and family and have a desire to live freely and till old age.
