Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
๐ Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
๐๏ธ 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.
-
๐งฌ 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.
-
๐ฝ๏ธ 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!
-
๐ 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.,
โ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
โ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
๐ฌ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 ๐) 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 ๐) will be removed.
-
๐ดโโ ๏ธ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sรญ, por favor [Spanish/Espaรฑol]

๐ฟ 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
- GPrime85
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)

It'll never stop being funny to me that Adam and Eve were in paradise where there was no such thing as shame yet they still wore big leaves on their privates because.... Reasons.
That is, of course, funny only if these bronze age fairy tales were true to begin with, it's all badly written fiction and I would be so happy of people just could get over themselves and stop believing in shit that 5 year olds already know to be false.
As I recall, they were actually naked and didn't feel the need to cover themselves until after eating from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil".
Thanks to that stupid fucking story and all the others, many cultures heavily influenced by Christian mythology feel the need to add those leaves because they can't handle nudity.
This.
But also https://teachdiary.com/where-fig-leaves-first-came-into-fashion/
They were, yes, in the original stories, but since nudity is ick ew omg in religions, the leaves were added in all imagery because imagine somebody seeing a weewee
I also just noticed the irony in covering their nakedness being a part of "original sin" but churches today lead the puritanical positions against general nudity and sexuality.
Also funny in that bad fiction way that it was about disobeying some arbitrary rule and it's never explained or even really acknowledged that humans shouldn't have knowledge. Like it's such an obvious form of control, right in the first story, not to mention how many of the ten commandments were about establishing a hierarchy rather than any kind of morality.
Like it's accepted history that Constantine was looking for a way to unite the far corners of Rome, since it was hard to motivate people to join legions to fight for people half a world away after they ran out of easy land to promise. So he just happened to find the "true religion" that he needed, that had a bible that was taken literally until it was so obviously incompatible with reality that it was now metaphors that could still describe reality if you back up and squint and assume dumb shit like "many cultures talk about floods, therefore they must be talking about noah's flood!"
Which is kinda like saying, "Wait, people in your culture die, too? That's proof that we were all kicked out of paradise and lost our immortality!"
Also ignoring how the old testament god acts more like an immature dictator throwing tantrums than a god, yet there's plenty of stories of people defying that god despite these apparent displays of miraculous power.
Big, if true.
Grok, is this real?
(I hate myself now)
But how did they think back then? How did they know which fruit to eat?
I mean, they pretty clearly did not wear anything or have shame until they sinned. Then they were ashamed of their nakedness and tried to cover themselves with leaves. When God came to them he killed an animal and clothed them with animal skin.
Mick Huckabee is very cross with you.
