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.

The statistics clearly show that poorer people have more children than richer people, so does having material comfort cause despair or are many people confused about their own motivations?

I’d say both are involved, but of the two, far more the latter than the former.

My observation is that generally speaking, poor countries tend to be conservative politically; and where the country is richer than the statistically poorer countries, the conservative group within tend to be poorer per capita.

My guess (and that’s all it really is), is that procreation factors very heavily into the conservative religious ethos, and in that it appears that religion will be heavily rooted in poorer nations/socioeconmic areas, having(or making) (as many) children (as possible) is a god-given mandate.

Doesn’t matter the conditions into which children are born because they will follow the will of god and live in eternal happiness after death. The misery they endure here on earth will be forever forgotten in the joys of their afterlives.

This is, at least, how it seems to me, and is just my opinion.
