Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.

🍿 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
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)
Web of Links

Its like people are Soooooooo fucking close to seeing the reality of our society for what it has become but so many continue to cling to a delusional ideal of American exceptionalism and the integrity of neo liberal western democracy that has for anyone with a functioning brain, ceased to exist since at least the 1980’s or very likely since the mass assassinations of left wing civil rights and political leaders in the 1960’s like maybe the second half of the prompt hasn't become reality yet but the first half is spot on. It is just like that scene in sacha baron cohen’s the dictator where he goes on a tangent about why do american’s hate dictatorships so much and then describes what american would look like in a dictatorship and pretty much describes exactly what America has increasingly become i the last 5-6 decades
If you noticed and have been paying attention to society and reading between the lines you can see we are already well beyond the first half of this AI assessment having happened Like we are so close to where we need to be but so many people have been immobilized by poverty and continuing the motions of paycheck to paycheck existence that they really cant stand up behind the scenes and so many others have bought the koolaid and think that a system that has been completely compromised by corporatism and money will allow for self remediation through the same system while they simultaneously ignore the fact that the democratic party actively works to thwart any policy movement to the left and ultimately neo liberal western democracy actively fights against the implementation of economic democracy which makes it a defacto class dictatorship. Too many of us have been conditioned so thoroughly and insidiously that they cant tell the difference between real journalism and corporate propaganda masquerading as journalism with integrity. And then anyone who points out the most likely reality of the situation is called a conspiracy theorist and leftist leaning explanations that substantiate any collusion by the ultra wealthy and are deemed “conspiracy” are considered lunacy but now the right has coopted this mistrust of authority to empower itself and weaponized it to the complete opposite end of the spectrum that leftists calling out abuses of power who first brought this type of diabolical over reach by the ultra wealthy to light did in the days before the internet and modern PR tactics that aim to discredit anyone who aims to speak truth to power. The world has become a bizarro upside down land but i think the same old tricks that corporatists/ capitalists have been using now since the 1990’s (and really even before then) are becoming obvious and class consciousness is at a level Of main stream acceptance that we have never seem before since the advent of the information super highway at least.
It may take more time but things are getting where they need to be and removing the right of regular people to obtain firearms will be a step in the wrong direction and serve to push the precipice of revolution further down the road possibly decades or even a century or more.
