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.

I can't really make an argument against that, considering that I stopped reading it years ago. Although I'll deflect blame and say that was due to my rss reader of choice being killed (google reader), so I stopped reading webcomics in general about that time.
I can understand why people might not like it. In effect, it's a sitcom with a gimmick, and there's tons of those on television (I actively despise all of them). I'll defend questionable content though because it has a setting and cast of characters that I've become invested in. However, I can see what it is, and I understand that it's not for everyone.
However, however, CONTEXT, specifically this conversation. People are allegedly hating on Jeph Jacques over on /r/questionablecontent just as hard as people are hating on pzzacake here. And to that I reiterate: fucking why?
edit: it helps if I do words in the right order.
Soap opera in comic form is exactly how I thought about the comic after a while. But yes, actively hating it is a bit harsh.
Just looked at the comic for the first time in years, and I am massively impressed by how his artistic skills have improved. Look at the current page vs page 1. If I didn't know better, I would not believe that it was done by the same person.
