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.

Capitalism instead made food absurdly abundant and gave everyone air conditioned boxes.
Edit: to address all of the nonsense responses below all at once: China's embrace of capitalism has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.

Capitalism didn't give us shit. We had to trade 1/3 of our lives for that "abundance". Don't make money because you're disabled? Doesn't seem so abundant anymore. Also, growing food isn't a byproduct of capitalism. The agricultural revolution began before capitalism existed. Imagine how much better your life would be if you didn't parrot ruling class talking points. You aren't ruling class so stop LARPing as a member of it.
What kind of delusional child brain would claim capitalism gives everyone homes.
Threw scarcity in the garbage? That seems like a good thing
