Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.
If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!
Joke's on Dad. Even 2% annual inflation would make that present-day $100 worth about 80% of its original value ten years ago.
Assuming this takes place from 2015 to 2025, that $100 in 2025 would've been $73 in 2015.
More importantly, mum's only handing over $100 when she should be paying $200
Is that how things work?
She's gotta repay the $100 she received mistakenly, plus another $100 to cover the bet she lost.
Dad gave her $100. Mom giving him $100 is just a refund, she'd need to pay another $100 to actually pay out on the bet.
Oh, lol. I'm sick so my mind is apparently mush. XD
I like the statement you're making
Not really my intention, though. As far as I'm concerned there's nothing political about simply existing.
Existing is highly political. I should know, I'm trans. XD
Let's make this a space where it isn't. We just vibe and laugh at funny comics.
I agree entirely.
Pretty political for a non political post
And yea it’s a political subject, whether you like it or not
Especially saying it isn’t political is a political opinion
That's fair. It blatantly shows fiat currency issued by the state, and a black getting health care.
Obviously, we should go all in decentralized money and get health care
On the contrary, saying it's political is a political opinion.
There's nothing political about the original post, whether you like it or not. You're politicizing it by claiming it's political.
Nope. The issue of trans people has basically always been political in my lifetime. I am not saying it should be political, or that it will always be considered political, but to say it isn't political right now is ignoring the reality and is dismissing the real issues faced by transgender people. You can't change reality by making statements because reality is not performative. The way the world works does not revolve around what you say or what you think.
Imagine defending trans erasure simply because you believe it's performative to depict them in a non-political light.
If the comic depicted people protesting with signs demanding trans rights, or a doctor saying "I'm sorry but due to the new regulations I cannot prescribe HRT," then yeah that would have political undertones. If it depicted a dude in a red hat saying "gender is binary and assigned at birth" then that would also be political.
But this is just a kid coming out to their parents, and the parents are only concerned with what that means for their bet; implying that they accept the kid's chosen gender. If that's political, then so is parents accepting a kid's decision to study art in college, because some people make education a political topic.
You don't get it. I am saying that indeed the existence of something is the thing that has been politicised. Some people legitimately believe that transgender is not a real thing and is instead some kind of a delusion or mental illness. Even ignoring that coming out as a concept is political. We wouldn't have the concept of coming out if being queer hadn't been prosecuted and stigmatized in the first place. Being gay or trans would just be a property someone has like having brown eyes.
Okay then any depiction of a human is political because humans are political beings
Yes, saying it’s political is a political opinion, but saying it isn’t is just as political
If someone doesn't like your car, and they petition congress to outlaw the make and model, they've politicized a non-issue.
If you tell them it's none of their business, you're not being political. It's not making it political to tell them it isn't political.
Saying things is political.
how dare you make the promotion of speech?
It costs you nothing not to leave your comment. I find it hard to believe someone else was out there waiting to comment how not political this comic was.
The same way not collecting stamps, isn't a hobby. There needs to be intent and goals.
It wasn't political until you complained about it being political.
Now it's political because commentary about whether something is political or not is an inherently political topic.
How about this: your dick size is pretty political for its size. And yeah it's a political subject, whether you like it or not. Especially saying it isn't political is a political opinion.
what's political about it?
Yeah! Also, there's all these women working outside the home in comics on here! It's ridiculous!
I saw a black pilot in a comic! All these politics are ruining my good clean fun!
This sort of happened to us, we didn't bet money. I kept telling my wife I only have boys. When our kid came out as trans I said "told you so". I think I'm pretty funny!
He should get at least 5% interest
She should be giving him at least $200, to cover the $100 he gave her and her $100 for losing the bet.
this reminded me of Marshall's and Lily's bet on Your Mother.
A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
