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.

Well, there's this one:
It is interesting that Superman’s archenemy was an incredibly wealthy businessman. That seems to be the exact problem with our world today (there’s just many more of them).
The more you look at the villains in all the TV, movies, and books growing up, the more you realise they're mostly evil capitalists.
It's weird that Hollywood etc would green light so many movies about how rich people like themselves are evil, and teaching kids to fight against them.
The rich landlord is going to close the community club hall! The rich businessman is trying to have us killed to cover up his chemical spills! Etc etc.
If it's not a literal alien from another planet, more often than not the bad guy is just a literal normal capitalist.
And yet try to use the lessons taught in every piece of media you ever watched as an impressionable child, and you're told that your anticapitalist beliefs are "extremist" and you're dangerous and must be stopped.
Weird eh?
