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.

I don't understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don't make me laugh and they don't have a real message.
People aren't sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.
Without realising they're preaching to the choir.
I don't think a comic has to be funny per se. That's why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what's going on here as well.
Comics don't have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is "Maus".
And if you don't like/get the message, that's fine. To each their own.
Good thing this comic from 100 years ago is totally not true anymore right
Pizzacake definitely isn't funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
