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.

So you’re saying that, in order to maximize evil, we should kill the baker?
If maximizing evil is the goal, killing the baker is the best thing you can do. Those people will eat some temporary bread and then go on starving. What’s worse, is more people will starve as well.
Killing the baker isnt the best thing you can do
Start a cult where no one is allowed to eat bread, having to make all bread poisonous and placing it in a line
You would waste more resources compared to just killing the baker and reduce the risk of another person becoming the baker
But then you need to set up a cult to keep on killing bakers, because there are incentives for someone else to take up the mantle.
or you take over operations, adulterate the bread with sawdust while selling the good stuff only to the 1% who can afford it. Also, maybe make it an overpriced subscription, where in order to have the privilege of buying bread, you also have to pay per loaf, too.
If that sounds like corpo-shit... that's because it is.
Then you might as well lightly poison the regular bread to keep the poor feeling like shit and preventing them from improving their life. You can still sell the premium, non-poisoned bread to the rich.
also placing some of the antidote into "herbal" remedies. to make even more money off them.
Now we're making progress towards a plan.
Don't you mean "what's even better"?
And poison his bread.
