Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I seriously don't understand the hate. You hate her because she's lazy? Why don't you just... not interact with her content then?
Because he's a misogynist loser
Did they revise their comment? I'm reading "don't like," not hate.
People not liking an artist is sort of how things work.
No, I did add "and uninspired" tho to hone specificly how I feel about the artist. I don't 'hate' them, I don't even know them.
Yeah, I don't really care about "not liking them", but they specifically said "hate", which I find to be a little much.
I did not you liar.
I could also be crazy. I defenetly read it as "hate". My comment stll stands as a general question though, just not focused on you.
I don't regularly at all, I saw the comment war here and gave my 2 cents because I felt like it, just like you did just now.
The art style is recognizable. Seems easier to me to recognize the art, not bother reading it, and scroll to the next post, than it would be to go into the post to tell everyone engaging with the political cartoon that you don't like political cartoons.
If I see a post about sports I don't go into the comments to tell everyone there I don't care for sorts, because the people in that comment section do not care.
OMG can you imagine if people did that though? βThis person posted about the Dodgers! I hate the Dodgers! I demand that nobody post anything about them ever because I donβt want to see it!β
So just scroll on by. You chose to open up the comment section for the comic. Nobody made you do that.
So what made you stop? You're joining the circle jerk of praise, or you're furious that some of us aren't on board, and you're going to tell us all to go outside?
I stopped because I don't have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.
I'm not doing either of those things. There's no way to read my comment and get to either of those two conclusions without making something up out of thin air.
Define "fury". I feel like I'm being relatively conversational, we just disagree on something. I'm not calling you slurs, or making assumptions of your character. I'm simply responding to people who are responding to me at this point, with a few minor exceptions.
If I were to make any kind of judgement it would be that a lot of you don't really know how this is supposed to work. For too many, and maybe you included, discourse in social media means you have to completely agree with something, or else remain silent. You've been swatting at trolls so long you don't know the difference. This has the unfortunate side effect of creating echo chambers, and these little praise parties.
Edit: actually, overlooking my comment to you, maybe I was π¬ oops. I'm probably getting a little swept up in this too -- anyway, you still stopped, the same as I did. Should I be obligated to say something nice about the content, or nothing at all? So the conclusion is still the same.
I like comics. I like 4 panel comics on social media. I am not US citizen. I am not willing to see only policital comics. I don't want to see extrapolated political comics. I come in the comics sub to get away from politics.
Unfortunately, all pizzacake does is political comics. Or at the very least most popular ones that got pushed up the feed. Hence I don't enjoy her content.
There is a reason why many left non-political subs like r/pics, r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout or r/adviceanimals. These subs not supposed to be politically locked echo chambers. But now they are.
If I want to keep up with politics, I'll go to politics communities, subs and news outlets. Blasting US politics out of every corner gets annoying quite fast.
So you want an echo chamber? Or a circle jerk? I mean, if you want quiet you can put away the phone and just go outside and do stuff. That's typically not as contentious. Boring even.
Yes, this is why places like Ml will ban you for pointing out historical facts.
Which I don't get. If they want something to constantly agree with them, and absolutely love the things they love then just chat at ChatGPT. It'll shine that bottom better than any human will.
We're particular and become disagreeable after a time.
