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.

This comic's quality degrades at the speed of light.
The previous strip (invert the gender of the characters): https://thedevilspanties.com/archives/16696
One published not so long ago (most devs are not like that, and it's bad to put them in the same basket as vibe coding 1 man enterprise CEOs): https://thedevilspanties.com/archives/16680
Yeah if you change the comics it changes its meaning. That's quite a revelation!
I don't think this particular one is off the mark, though... it seems pretty abundantly clear that Democrats are, indeed, refusing to "do a fucking thing to stop any of it". Like, where's the obstructionism that the fascists have been committing for the last twenty five years? Where's the "Good Trouble"? I think this take is spot on.
I mean the joke is the subversion of gender roles, reversing it just makes it not funny.
The dev joke is fine, clearly that's not a vibe coder but a developer who is lazy and wants job security. It's just funny the contrast between the fields (especially since it's much more harmful to the artists with the stealing of the art).
I love to hate on things but it's just not that serious. If you don't like it that's fine but the quality doesn't seem to be in freefall
Yeah, as I commented on the coding strip, I read it as a malicious compliance on the part of the coder, because they know that, once the models collapse, the companies will have to bribe them back at consultancy rates.
