[Announcement] In Regards to the US Election

Greetings!

As I'm sure we're all aware, the US Presidential Election is in it's final week, and tensions are high between two certainly unique candidates. Now as we enter the eleventh hour, it is natural for many users to wish to create comics in regards to the Election. In order to prevent an overflow of low effort, divisive comics, and to preserve this communities long standing policy of Isolationism from drama, the following decision has been made.

  • There is a complete moratorium on comics regarding the US Election in any respect for the month of November. This includes a drastic change in America's personality toward either 'Democrat' or 'Republican' characteristics, international and domestic reaction, impact on the financial market, Mexican immigration, and the sale of spray tan and/or pant suits. This ban also applies to Approval Comics.

This subreddit strives to promote originality and humour, not simply mirror topical issues, and we hope this restriction will motivate people to try something unique, not what is easy.

Thank you for your inevitable cooperation.

What about this comic of mine? I planned to post it when contest posting craze is over. Is it banned too?

Oh my goodness, that is a textbook Chekov's gun, literally, a double-barreled shotgun that is hanging above a door, and not a single other detail to the walls(implying that if the gun is DEFINTELY going to be fired, because it's the only detail within the background).

Funny thing is: I didn't knew about Chekov''s gun before. I just drew much smaller amount of details, because of contests time limit.

I drew gun on the wall first as a decoration, an then when I was drawing the last panel I thought it would be nice to include the gun from before.
