- 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.

Just "woke" actually.
that's why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness
Hahahah that's what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It's pretty interesting.
Actually in ancient etruscan...
... person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.
are you saying you're woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.
It's from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you're black and you treat a cop like a human being, you'll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.
Words change meanings.
So it doesn't mean awake anymore?
Yeah he thinks it means whatever the fuck the American fat right media says it does.
Don’t you dare fix that typo.
Yeah that's definitely going into my vocab now.
Hahahaha no sir
Especially when they get co-opted by Euro-Americans.
It actually comes from African-American culture and has a history that's several decades old.
It's why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they'd have to say "kind".
I still haven't looked into what "woke" actually means, but from what I can tell, it seems to mean anything far-right people don't like.
In left-leaning spaces it means "cognizant of the injustice pervading society". On the right it means "uppity".
I mean that's what it means to people on the right also they just think that's a bad thing.
Yeah, seems like "woke" is anything we're not supposed to approve of this month.
I do find the word "woke" incredibly useful.
The moment the word exits someone's mouth (as a complaint), I save a ton of energy on how to handle any further information they share (highly suspect).
Edit: I've actually discovered some great art and culture by being warned away from it's "wokeness", too.
