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.

When referencing news media in this way, it's important to actually include the name of the publication or source so that people can go verify it themselves. You're not leaving them in a no mans land of uncertainty, unsure of what's true or not, and not opening yourself up to accusations of dishonesty or spreading misinformation.
In this case, and in others referencing print and written media, the name of the publication, title of the article, and the date it apprared would be included.
So it would be by Steff Chavez, published in The Financial Times, on Jan 15 2025 (the title of the article is redundant information as it appears in the comic).
Optionally a link people can visit might be handy:

That way you're showing people what the political reality is for certain, rather than leaving them in doubt or uncertain about what was actually published. But also, it keeps you honest too.
