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.

Transgender solidarity maybe?

I’m not sure either, it can apply to many very different things

Yes, the allusion to "bear" is the giveaway. As for guinea pig, that's a slang term from back home in the late '80s.

You see, I was born and grew up on the western side of urban Pennsylvania — back then, most of my time was spent hanging out at the local school's playground. Frequently, we'd play basketball, except this one time that two hoodlums beat me up. My mom got so scared from this that she sent me out to California to live with her sister and brother-in-law.

Oh man, west urban Pennsylvania. I remember one time I caught the ferry to east urban Pennsylvania because I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on then. "Gimme five bees for a quarter", you'd say.
