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

What the fuck is declawing a cat?
Animal abuse. That's what.
It is a surgical procedure equivalent to chopping off the first knuckle of their toes.
Ever have someone rip your finger nails off while you’re as sleep?
Oh it's much worse than that: it's cutting their fingers and toes off at the first joint and then making them walk on it for life
What the fuck no wonder ive never heard about it before. Its probably illegal in the eu.
It is, and thank God for that.
Animal declawing, ear cropping, and tail docking are illegal in every EU member state.
Does the tail docking law have any exceptions? Doing it for aesthetics is fucked up, but some dogs have a problem with wagging their tail into objects which can fuck it up and necessitate amputation. Happy Tail Syndrome.
yes, there are exceptions for medical reasons and they are unfortunately abused by assholes and unethical veterinarians.
No thanks to any god, but reasonable people.
