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.

I know it's a joke, but this really rubs me the wrong way, as it plays off the idea that homeless people are homeless because they're deviants somehow, not just unlucky individuals who fell through the cracks.
Fact is that giving homeless people a sizeable cash injection and a place to live often has very good outcomes in them being able to turn their lives around.
Good work by the author on punching down.
The only problem here is your interpretation of the comic.
Instead of looking at how it humanizes homeless people and shows that they are
just like everyone else you decided to interpret the guy going clubbing and being
interested in the opposite sex as the artist depicting "deviants". WTF?
