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.

You do realize that comparing degrees of suffering like this is a major part of what keeps people from feeling ok talking about their mental health struggles right?What language is that ? Icelandic ? Old english ?
It's regular English, they're just swapping in different phonetic characters for some reason

Having your name spelled wrong on a Starbucks cup IS NOT a degree of suffering. The comic is about petty nonsense. If the comic had a white woman in it complaining about her name being wrong on a cup everyone in the comments section would call her a Karen and the comic would not be so controversial.
And if my Grandma had wheels she'd be a car.
Unfortunately you posted a shitty, arguably racist, excuse for moralistic grandstanding and now we all have to deal with it.
Complaining about people complaining about petty nonsense is, in and of itself, petty fucking nonsense and a waste of time. If you feel strongly enough to imagine it's in any way useful to try and call out this shit, get off your ass and go volunteer in your community instead.

And you dismissing what for some is probably the straw that breaks the camel's back for the day is why nobody confides their problems in you.Pıpėl aṙ ėlaud t bı u̇pſet ėbaut cit ƿiðaut bııŋ seıŋktėmonıu̇ſlı lektcṙd ėbaut ſtaṙvıŋ kidz i Æfrikė ðæt Y wṙ'n þıŋkıŋ ėbaut ıðṙ u̇ntil Ðı bikeım ė kėnvınyint ekſkyuſ t bitcſpleın ƿuı æſkıŋ f ð tuınıiſt bit v empėþı oṙ kėmizṙeıcėn æktcuėlı meıkſ ðem bæd pıpėl f ekſpektıŋ ė frend t ækt luık ė frend.

People are aloud to be upset about shit without being sanctimoniously lectured about starving kids in Africa that you weren't thinking about either until they became a convenient excuse to bitchsplain why asking for the tiniest bit of empathy or commiseration actually makes them bad people for expecting a friend to act like a friend.İt's ė fu̇kıŋ ku̇p v kȯfı, n ðem kėmpleınıŋ ėbaut bııŋ u̇nemploıd ƿuıl tṙnıŋ djȯb ȯfṙz daun left æ ruıt f bııŋ "binıþ ðem."

It's a fucking cup of coffee, not them complaining about being unemployed while turning job offers down left and right for being "beneath them." Just agree it's annoying and move on instead of turning it into a watch session of the poverty porn channel to remind them they are a bad person for not checking their privilege before wanting someone to agree it sucks their charger frayed and doesn't work anymore.you may as well post in a completely foreign language, with no spoiler tags. at least people would be able to read your garbage
