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.

German fascists were ready. Hitler won the chancelorship with only 35 percent of the popular vote. It's like saying all US-Americans are Trumpists.
The best part is that Hitler didn't win, Hindenburg won with 53% of the vote, and proceeded to staff all the positions of power with nazis, and then hand power over to Hitler.
The social democrats split from the communists and supported Hindenburg because "this is the most important election ever" and "we need unity and bipartisanship" type rhetoric.
Naturally that unity and bipartisanship meant working with the fascists against the communists.
The communists, ever cursed with Casandra Syndrome, ran on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler; a vote for Hitler is a vote for war."
