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.

I'd anything this just provided me with a well worded explanation for why I don't like it:

It’s zany but not fun, there’s no joke, just “Here’s a thing, and here’s another thing, these two things don’t normally go together, but here they are together, isn’t that funny?”

His upbringing?

His parents are in jail! I assume his mom is there on prostitution charges

This was funnier than any heathcliff comic I've seen so far

The fact that we have no idea why Iggy lives with his grandparents has caused a lot of speculation. And it's not even a NAPG thing. It goes back to the beginning in the 70s. Back when a kid living with their grandparents usually meant prison or death took the parents out of the picture.

Yeeeeaah. His instructions are: indoctrinate yourself with standard brainwashing techniques. Read it, even though you don't like it, and keep reading it, until you do.

Well-written essay, though.
