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.

Consumers didn't price the glass higher than the plastic. Companies and lack of regulations did that.
Consoomers aren't to blame. Why? Because I'm a consoomer myself and I know I'm not to blame. Not even partially. I am completely absolved from any blame because I'm a consoomer. Where does it say so? I say so. I will consoom for the economy and that's how I participate in society.
I buy plastic bottles because I'm powerless. I buy big tech products because I'm powerless to their advertising. I buy non-fairtrade products because, you guessed it, powerless. I leave the tap on while brushing my teeth because industry uses millions of litres more than I ever could making products for me to consoom. I am powerless! I can consoom anything I like, whenever I like, however I like, because I'm a weak pawn with no independence.

Nice strawman. You wanna set it on fire, or try using it on someone that it applies to?
