      No, Alice’s argument was fallacious. Whether her conclusion was true or false is not clear from her argument.

      They were unsound, due to the use of fallacy, but that doesn’t mean they were untrue. Ginger might’ve been a cat, and Alice might’ve been English. The truthfulness of the argument has no bearing on the soundness of the argument (and vice versa)

    Not to be confused with:

    Phallusy fallacy: You’re wrong because you’re a d–k.

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.
