I love the Strange Planet cartoons, but just FYI the author, Nathan Pyle, is unapologetically pro-life, publicly engages in some really harmful rhetoric surrounding women's reproductive rights, and refuses to listen to scientifically irrefutable facts regarding abortion, just because he and his wife are Christian. He says they vote Democrat anyways because they're "troubled by what the republican party has become." But somehow I really really doubt that. I wouldn't be surprised if they supported the dismantling of Roe v. Wade under the guise of freedom of religious beliefs. The odds of them believing in the separation of church and state while simultaneously attending events like the March for Life are slim to none.
I welcome your take. I am very pro choice and not religious. That said I still that the comics have value. To my knowledge he doesn't espouse these views in the comics and I think that is enough of a separation to be ok. Similarly it's ok to still like Dilbert comics or listen to John Lennon.
Nice to see these images have made it over to lemmy :)
