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.

yeah but fuck Scott Adams.
etc etc
The good news is he’s dead now, so you can enjoy Dilbert without any risk of accidentally giving him any money.
It's still kinda mind-blowing to me seeing someone who could ~~be~~ seem so clever, cutting-edge and worldly in his comics project turn out to be such a massive, selfish, hateful imbecile across so many other areas.
Altho maybe it should be pointed out that he was about as bare-boned as it could be as a cartooning talent, and evidently solicited and used scores of ideas from his readership. So, maybe not as clever and cutting-edge as I first thought when I enjoyed his comics, centuries ago.
Btw, "Behind the Bastards" did a two-parter on him, for those who like podcasts:
