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.

People downvoting this thread because they're not getting that this is satire by the onion makes this post infinitely funnier. Well played OP
I don't get it... Is the joke just that conservative cartoons label everything and use straw-man stereotypes?
I suppose it's probably funnier if you actually encounter these irrationally conservative people in real life - though I suppose I prefer the situation where I don't 😅
Somehow this isn't satire
That looks dope. I want to go on the pronoun train!
Nice try, I'm not eating the onion this time.
(Seriously though, the satire isn't actually worse than this. Which makes sense, because... What the actual fuck. But yeah, that does make it unclear that it's satire and what point it's trying to make.)
Yes. There's a whole series of these comics.
The Onion is a parody of normal newspapers; since normal newspaper political comics follow satire, The Onion goes double up to satirize their satire.
Lots of people gonna have bad breath from eating the Onion lol
I was not sure what I was reading (not having a lot of references for actual American conservative cartoons probably explains that a bit) but crying liberty was too much even for gullible me.
