Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately depending how you look at it), basically every street beggar (at least in the UK) has some form of drug or alcohol problem that you’d be funding.

(For context, I say fortunate as there are ways for people who don’t have these problems and are homeless to survive)

I’ve done a lot of work with the homeless, and it’s sadly true here in the US too. Still, I think it’s normal for the average person to want to do something, even if it’s not without its drawbacks.

Yeah. If you have the time you could perhaps get a gift card which cannot be spent on alcohol, but even then they might sell it. The most you can really do is give them opened food

If funding an alcohol problem is necessary in order to fund a life, then I want to fund an alcohol problem.

The alcohol problem is what’s destroying their life

Having no food would destroy it a little faster, methinks

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).
