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.

Alright, let me ask you both: isn't expecting a message like "everything worm-man says is wrong" or "everything worm-man opposes is good, actually" a little too simplistic? Don't we want a little nuance, even in our absurdist, 2-panel comic strips? I feel like I shouldn't have to spell out that the worm-man is capable of mixing fact and fiction to muddy the waters, but here we are.
I hear you from the realism perspective, but this is (hopefully) satire. Either you go all in with satire, or you don't - you can't half-foot a message when your audience is relatively unknown
