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.

This comic depicts four people who couldn't be bothered to pay attention to anything for ten years.
I have no sympathy.
What option were they given?
The status quo vs ... gestures wildly ???
If the status quo was working, people would have gone with it
Well, this new alternative is working out wonderfully.
Doesn't mean that people weren't desperate for an alternative. People don't have the knowledge you do and often don't think through every possible outcome. If they know they are suffering and there is a chance for change they will leap towards it even if it's out of the pot and into the fire. Humans crave change and the status quo has been used as a cludgel against them for decades.
You can be upset that this is the change that's happening but don't blame people that are suffering and try not to be smug about it when they suffer more or they will never view you as kind to their plight.
