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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Doesn't sound like he was a good man, but he was nonetheless murdered, in cold blood, by cops, on video.
Kirk was murdered by a lone gunman, who didn't like his politics, on video.
Kinda doesn't compare though? Kirk is a case of the government creating a martyr. And the government has far more power than the populace demonstrating, or even rioting.
Does that make sense? They were both bad men who were murdered in cold blood, on VERY public video. But the Trump admin can put real legs on "their" event, just as with Wessel.
Anyway, thanks for saying that, not being snarky. Be prepared to be murdered in the comments and likely banned. :(
I dont applaud anyone of them. police were held accountable for killing floyd, and court room justice i always value over comment section mob Justice.
He just wasnt a saint, he was a bad element in society. Also No one should be killed by police like he was.
Anyone whos holding women up and robbing and beating them should be on jail or a mandatory recovery center.
And kirk and floyd only have one thing in common....their killings were on video. Like kennedy...it just ups the attention and pain.
Like ray rice, he got suspended for 2 games for beating his wife. Then the video came out and people and were furious, it got upped and he got in more trouble....because it was on film.
On general we need less propaganda and more realism.
Ty fpr the civil back and forth.
