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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

[a farmer is talking in front of an angry crowd, pitchforks and all] I use the worst pesticides on my crops, raise animals in cramped conditions, take their babies away for slaughter, and have little respect for the environment

[the same farmer is talking in front of a now happy crowd, hearts and all] I'm a small local independent farmer though

That's really dumb due to economies of scale.

also many people live in apartments and as such don't have space to grow plants. Many people also live under HOAs, and as such aren't allowed to grow edible vegetation, only decorative vegetation. These are difficult problems to solve, and "just live somewhere else" is rarely a viable solution.

I was joking of course, but I will say that a cool thing about gardening is you know exactly what you used on your plants instead of taking an industrial farm's word for it
