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.

The good news for (most of) the pieces of shit from the 1830s and 1940s is that there wasn't a tool for us to use to name and shame.
However for this generation of fascist scum there is now the internet. And it should be used to track down and tackle the ICE scumbags. Fuck them.
Edit: Reee, AI, blah blah because, yes, that's the most horrible thing about this post. Definitely not the kidnapping and fascism. Fuck sake.
you are on track with the right kind of thinking and the children are too busy whining about the AI. fuck the AI haters. let them say it to my face. we have bigger fish to fry. anybody that wants to get distracted like that is a liability and should be treated as such.
The sentiment of the post is right, but AI is shit and we can adress smaller shit while also focussing on big shit :)
There, said it to your internet face
so brave
Interesting moral dilemma: is ai use acceptable if it's to spread a message like this?
Smothering the human cartoonists and content creators in an avalanche of AI slop today guarantees you won't have them tomorrow, when the AI tools are rigged to censor and pervert efforts at creating this kind of content in the future.
Then why doesn't a human cartoonist redraw them?
Is it acceptable? Honestly I don't know, it's tricky.
It is not as if the picture is of real people that have been manipulated. Which is unacceptable . So, for me, it's down to if the op couldn't get their message across without it because, again for me, the message is far more important (at the moment).
And AI being shoved in to everything and up everyone's arses is a problem for another day.
What I do know is that I posted my comment then read other comments and that most of the replies that mentioned AI were just mentioning AI. Some mentioned AI and the general message of the post. Some mentioned the message, but the majority and their replies were just about the AI.
Which, to me, means that OP's message seems to be less important.
If op could draw themselves I don't think they would have used AI.
A quick "fuck AI" then acknowledgement about the general meaning of the post is far more important, and on topic, than just mentioning AI.
The general message of this post has been steam rollered by other things, and it really shouldn't be like that.
Dude. Nobody got kidnapped or fascisted over this post. But the use of AI was a real thing that actually occurred. Yes, it's perfectly appropriate for people to care about that, and some people, believe it or fucking not, can hold two things in their heart at the same time. If I can make you ignore whatever I'm actually doing just by referencing Mussolini, I have a superpower over you. And maybe people do.
Also, fuck your low key ableism. Let "reee" die.
You should cry more.
Devastating. I may never recover from that. Let's cry together.
