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.

Coca-Loca. Can you solve this great mystery Mr. Thinking-is-hard. Also I just said it felt like an ad, not that corporations should not be referenced ever.
Jackass - what's the difference between saying Sony and saying Sorny? It's not any less of a reference to a specific brand.
And the very direct reference is part of the joke when a comic is about how generally irrelevant the brand is, outside of specific contexts.
I'm sorry, maybe I just don't see the joke then. How is "Cinnabon, since this could be your last" specifically a part of the original comic's joke? Wouldn't it work just as well with a plane crashing while thinking of literally any other food? Replace Cinnabon with Oreo's and I think the joke is the same. Maybe I just missed something that makes Cinnabon essential to the joke besides Cinnabon being in airports sometimes?
You only seem to encounter this brand in airports. Oreos are commonplace. Cinnabons are not. They are an idle temptation almost exclusive to air travel, with its occasional risk of helpless death.
The joke's not about airplanes crashing. The joke is about Cinnabon.
This frog is minced.
I have seen more cinnabons in Malls than in airports. The joke is "buy cinnabon" according to you, which is not a fucking joke dipshit.
Already mentioned malls, thanks.
I no longer care if you understand this quite simple gag. You've been an unpleasant time vampire. Bye.

If this isn't deliberate trolling then you are an idiot.
Or I'm just sick of your fucking bullshit bro
