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.

Based in reality, I think.
And if anyone is wondering, riz is charisma.
Based actually comes from freebased. Which is what you do to cocaine to make it crack.
Based used to mean something cringe worthy until the rapper Lil B started using it in a positive context.
Now it's sort of the opposite of cringe.
Ex freaking scuse me? 😢
Ahh okay ...opposite of cringe. That makes it easy to remember.
Everything has to be shorter, because gnat-like attention spans.
tl;dr
We used to use spent when we were too lazy to say washed up. Or fucked.
But you can’t use 4 letter words or your social media will get de-emphasized and your referral traffic will be ~~washed~~ fucked.
