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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Good observations, but don't mistake simplicity for a lack of talent or effort. Minimal styles take a lot of effort to get right. You may only see one line for a mouth for example, but it may have been redrawn several times to get it just right. That takes both talent and effort.
I'm saying the opposite. Or rather, the talent in expressing the ideas doesn't require a photorealistic drawing talent. I'm recognizing the talent for communicating these human emotions is separate, but not less amazing. This artist has this incredible talent!
I remember this every time I try to draw a damn mouth. It’s so distressing for me.
Getting those fingers right alone requires a lot of skill
