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.

These are decent examples. USAID was one of the greatest things in the world. It provided relief for millions of people and saved countless lives. It was one of the primer aspects of American soft power due to the positive affects it had. The US was also helping Ukraine defend freedoms, it's people, and it's sovereignty from a genocidal invasion from it's fascist neighbor which polls showed, skyrocketed America's image across the globe until Trump took over. Likewise, the VA, while not a great institution by any means, is still an example of the country giving help to the people that fought for it. The point isn't to wash over the flaws, but demonstrate America strength comes from empathy, it's not a weakness.
