Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ 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.
-
𧬠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.
-
π½οΈ 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!
-
π 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.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) 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 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ 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.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- 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.,

πΏ 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)

MODERATORS
Sure would be a pain in the neck if it did
Well, I don't think they will write such a banger nowadays, probably just some mediocre country.
Better quality version. Right click - open in new tab. From https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1nogt5x/horst_wessel_oc/
"Now, people, rise up, and let the storm break loose!" - Joseph Goebbels memorializing Horst Wessel, 1932
"...And the warrior whispers back, I am the storm. Erika is the storm. We are the storm." - Steven Miller memorializing Charlie Kirk, 2025
Steven Miller looks just like Goebbels too, those dead eyes scare me.
It's as if God is doing a (history, colorized) meme on us, but the colors are just the black, white, and red of the Nazi swastika.
People love call backs, even nazis.
Thank you :)
Did Goebbels have the answer to autism though
Further controversy arose in the late 2010s over allegations that Asperger referred children to the Am Spiegelgrund children's clinic in Vienna during the Nazi period. The clinic was responsible for murdering hundreds of disabled children deemed to be "unworthy of life" as part of the Third Reich's child euthanasia programs (as part of the T4 Programme),
Wowee
Maybe a cultural compulsion of misremembering and publically honoring the dead unconditionally isnt always good for society.
Yeah, I'll take my bans now.
Did you read it? It wasn't a "cultural compulsion". It was a deliberate campaign to turn the memory of him into a complete fabrication and a fascist tool.
And why did that propaganda campaign work? What did it operate on?
People like heroes, alive or dead. Them being dead is just beneficial to those rewriting their history.

Outrage, divisive politics, creating an enemy strawman...
Human nature?
This is about propaganda, not culture.
Why would anyone ban you for that? It's not an unpopular opinion or mean.
Nothing to be learned from here
History doesn't repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes.
Those Kirk supporters would be really angry about this if they could read
They wouldnβt be able to understand the parallels even if they could read.
they're just like "this time there won't be a 4th panel"
I sometimes wonder if Hitler would have had any success at all if it weren't for Goebbels. The man practically invented propaganda.
you seem to underestimate the grumpy germans.
Dang! I didn't think of him when this Charlie Kirk thing happened. That is the perfect Nazi Germany equivalent of the current administration.
The incident that got got Horst killed wasn't political. It was actually kinda funny when you look back at it. Horst was a criminal himself and lived a fairly criminal lifestyle (he was a pimp and dealt with a lot of sex workers) and the communist who killed him was also a criminal. The chain of events that led to his murder was that his landlady didn't like him for not paying his rent, among other things, and hired said communist to kick him out because he refused to leave despite not paying rent. He was shot and his killers were... sentenced to 6 years!
Like wow... but they were killed by the SA after the Nazis got to power because the Nazis never had any respect for law and order.
Edit: it was manslaughter. Not murder. That explains the lesser sentence.
i'd say at times of lots of violent tension between Nazis and antifascists there is always a political aspect to such events. would a criminal Kamerad have agreed to the landlady's proposition? would i as a communist collaborate with the owning class just to bully a Nazi? maybe.
and pointing out that someone doesn't comply with all laws is irrelevant, both involved could have been in pigeon fancier circles, that wouldn't nullify the political situation and their allegiances.
Nazis never had any respect for law and order.
ough, of course the want you to respect their order.

History doesn't repeat itself. But it often rhymes.
They've already gotten to his Wikipedia page. His listed home town doesn't actually exist...
Bielefeld? That's a real place.
Ahaha... you got me. Now I know an in-joke next time I'm hanging with Germans.
