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.

Ooh, my opinion is my own here.
I was completely out of the loop with who this creator was when I one day scrolled through /r/comics/top, wasn't aware of the drama, the circlejerk, you name it.
Her comedy is bottom of the barrel, obvious, decades old takes, that appeal to an era of the internet when comedy was written by those who had the technical know-how to engage with the internet - i.e., unfunny people.
Panel 1: she's eating airline food, followed by 3 panels of silly "yucky food" faces. Final panel "you expect people to eat this stuff??".
Panel 1: "honey will you take out the trash" followed by 3 frames of a guy beating up trash. Final frame, pizza cake self insert looking exasperated at the mess.
Panel 1: she's excitedly buying stuff from the bargain bin, followed by 3 panels of all her purchases falling apart. Final panel - the "bargain" sticker falls off of "bargain bin". She has exasperated look with hair pointing out.
Panel 1: she's sleeping awkwardly, followed by three panels of different awkward sleeping poses. Final panel, husband is waking up refreshed, she says "maybe we need to swap pillows"
All of these are technically jokes and/or observations, but just know that if you think these are worth illustrating and sharing, what you consider good comedy is about 15-30 seconds of effort, or the absolute first thing that came to my mind.
People don't like PC because her comics sit amongst others who exert effort to - at the very least - add a second layer to their comedy. It's unearned accolades given to the undeserving.
Yah i don't care, it's not worth the hate. It feels pretty fucking bourgeoisie to organize around hating someone who just doesn't live up to what you want in a creator while we have actual democracy falling across the world. Just don't look at the comics.
If that's not working, that means she's living in your head and you need to figure out why.
Bourgeois* is the adjective
Bourgeoisie is a noun
I ain't organising to hate her, like I said, I don't care about any of the circlejerk. And I can use meaningless buzz words too if you like. "It's pretty fucking authoritarian to silence criticism of art. Just don't look at my comment, I'm living in your head and you need to figure out why"
See, fairly pointless rhetoric.
