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.

At the time this comic came out, it would have been Democrats, not Republicans, who were viewed as the party of conservative racists. This is pre-Nixon and his Southern Strategy
Yes yes, I knew someone would bring up the southern strategy. Thank you. Changes nothing. It's the same sorts of people being shitty in the same sorts of ways. Where they congregate at any moment in history is independent of that. They are always conservatives, and today they own our republicans.
Yeah I totally agree. Just thought it's an interesting point considering this community doesn't normally have such old cartoons posted
Sorry I was way too ready for a fight on that detail. 🙂
