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.

This wouldn't end world hunger. This is what would happen long before the robot even reaches the floor of the UN:

A sandwich company would buy the robot, its design, and its patent, for an incredible amount of money.
Making a whole robot is redundant, so they'll refactor the robot to a significantly more scaled down sandwich printing machine.
The sandwiches will be sold for a very high price, much higher than a regular sandwich, as it can be sold as "ethical"; no animals killed for the meat, no land use for the bread and vegetables. Carbon neutral.
Company makes HUGE profit margins. World hunger stays the same.

To end world hunger you don't need to invent infinite food. You need to end capitalism.
