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.

Its tough finding good media, almost anything pre 2000 is out because of some sort of bigotry and even after that it gets iffy sometimes, and if you filter for copaganda, zoo propaganda, agri propaganda and corporate propaganda there is not a lot left...
There's loads of good children's fantasy like Rowan of Rin etc. This one is still at "what does Bunny like?" level though :p
oh mine is learning animal noises still, cat goes "ma" sheep go "ba" dogs go "wa" elephants go "pffffff" lol.
But simply finding good picture books is already a pain.

All the ones I've read to her have been unproblematic.
thank you genuinely, now I need to find them in german as well🤣😭
I was going to ask about your home language, as dogs definitely do not "wa" in the US 😹 I love those differences.
Edit: Also, I think of German children's stories as being very bloody: kids get maimed, and the world is generally dangerous. Is that still present at all, or am I out of date by 100+ years?
Edit 2: For anyone interested, https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/original-struwwelpeter-illustrations-childrens-moral-lesson-book
the latter lol it's just been bog-standard racism the past century. There's quite the movement to create inclusive childrens books though, to normalize different family structures and cultures right from the start, but animal books for vegans are still quite sparse.
edit: there's one book where spousal abuse is played for laughs a couple times though, by a very popular author too, extremely weird shit
