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.

To be fair, consider the expansive global industry required to enjoy coffee. The supply chains for steak, fugu, and alcohol don't really compare. The fact that just about anyone in the global north can enjoy a coffee at any time of day for a few bucks really is a luxurious privilege.
Same goes for chocolate.
Both are more carbon intensive (by weight) than pork or chicken.
The only part that really stands out for coffee is the farming of the raw material. Alcohol compares favourably if you buy local, but it's really common to buy spirits and wines from different continents that may be aged in casks from yet another continent, which isn't really any less involved than coffee.
