      It’s a little opaque but he’s doing a black power salute to the black dude because he has black lung.

        Oh I see, thanks. I thought the doctor took his hair for some reason and the black lung spread to his skin.

    Why is the doctor conjuring up a heart in the third panel

      It looks like it’s supposed to be a single lung. It looks identical to one from frame 2

        I guess you’re right. Bro draws lungs like hearts. But it still begs the question. Why is the doctor conjuring the lung out of thin air.

      He’s explaining medical stuff. Black lung damages the whole cv. Heart being central.

      Narratively… ya, maybe a poor decision.

    This doesn’t work in Europe where this bullshit fortunately doesnt exist. Yet. But don’t worry, we’ll get there.

    And with bullshit i mean this US versus THEM narrative.

      where in Europe do you think “this” doesn’t exist?

      Europe invented this and shipped it to all other continents

        Now now, the “us vs them” mentality has been around as long as humans have existed.

        Europe industrialized it and shipped it all over the world.

        They just hit turbo mode on the factory floor.

          he wouldn’t call “black power” “this bullshit”. This isn’t Xitter.

            Bro there’s straight up Nazi instances, and people make alts.

            The only alternative is he’s such a goddamn clown he thinks Europe doesn’t have tribalist thought.

      It’s more insidious this side of the Atlantic. At least in countries where non-native* people are commonplace anyway.

      But right across the board the insidiousness takes the form of not caring rather than being outright hateful. So when, as others mention, far-right, definitely hatefully racist, political candidates start being elected, those who vote for them have carried their lack of caring over.

      Those who don’t care don’t discourage racism so it continues to exist. To flourish. I believe that MLK Jr. said that those people are worse than the hateful - he called them “white moderates” - because they stand by and do nothing when they’re greater in number than the actual racists and could actually do something about it.

      * Yes, I know “native” is a problematic word, but I don’t want to have to unpick that for the sake of this comment.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)

Web of Links
  • !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: “I use Arch btw”
  • !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don’t say!)
