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.

Anyone else have no idea why this is so downvoted?

Because it's a clickbaity ad to their website that blames it on Lemmy's technical limitations, when they could have put additional images it in the description field.

So people would rather downvote than tell me I'm doing it wrong and teach me the right way?

Sorry but I haven't been on Lemmy for long, and I have not yet seen a multipanel comic in this community.

What's the correct procedure, placing image tags in the description field, where I placed the transcript?

My apologies for "advertising" for a website that has no ads, tracks no user data, and sells nothing.

And I thought I was the smug one.

It's actually multiple small comics on one common theme.

Would assembling them vertically be the preferred format here?

As far as I can tell, it seems that way. But take that with a grain of salt. I haven't contributed anything of my own. I only speak as an experienced user.
