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.

Person being crushed is protestors/dissenters that is being crushed by a large oppresive whale (police/media/counter protestors) for speakingout against the whale. Other person comes allong to help, raises their voice, and is told to "keep things civil" as if they are the instigators, while the whale is maliciously using its weight to stiffle the oppressed.
Basically the norms and establishment of society is large and unwieldy and can crush any oppsition with no way of retaliation. And if somone points it out, dispite being equally small and cannot truly harm the whale, they are the ones out of line and instigators.
Edit: Words
The system is designed to protect the system.
