Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ 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!
  5. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. 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)

I know it's a joke but if anyone out there ever feels like they're always too hot or too cold (and it's not a medical thing,) check the tags on your clothes. Seriously, the kind of fibre you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel. I live where it gets below 30Β°C in the winter, where people ask me how the hell I'm not freezing. Well, I have a cotton tee, a merino wool stanfield, thick wool socks, wool fleece hoodie and a wool hat.

Edit: I'm not a lava golem, just a dumbass. NEGATIVE 30Β°C

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 48 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Below 30C?! Shit, how do you survive?!

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 36 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Sorry heat exhaustion is making typos.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just below 30C you'll usually find me nearly naked.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

Naked, lying in a pile of snow, steaming. After coming out of the sauna.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I work at a bakery and wear shorts at work year round. Customers are always surprised that I’m wearing shorts, often exclaiming in the same breath how nice and warm the bakery is.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Hmmm yes the business which uses big ovens that bake bread at high temperatures is nice and hot inside. Whou would've thought.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 10 points 9 months ago

(β˜žοΎŸβˆ€οΎŸ)☞ shorts guy!

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

It is all about layers. Layers equal flexibility.

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I kept reading closest as closet and was really confused.

Same. I was trying to figure out how this was some dysphoria hoodie joke, but the sentence wasn't even grammatically correct..

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 9 months ago

I read your closet as closest and was wondering if there was a joke in you typing the same word twice.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The UK has been abnormally hot for the last few days. Feels like you need a jacket, but before long you're sweating.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago

All my strawberry plants have regrown, they think it's a summer again.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Even #3 feels overdressed right now.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Morning starts with wool sweater & gloves & long pants & wool socks & boots. Noon-3pm I'm wearing a bikini on the beach & getting a sunburn. After the sun sets, we're cold again, put my morning gear back on, plus ear muffs.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

One would think that a place with a beach has a body of water that retains heat into the night. Seaside or lakeside places usually tend to have a milder climate.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That's why I usually don't commute by bike in autumn. Freeze in the morning with too many clothes. Areive all sweaty because too many clothes keep warmth too well. After all that the sun comes out and suddenly it's 20Β°C outside and I have nowhere to put all the clothes I wore in the morning while I go back home.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

from right to left 70f 60f 50f

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah guy on the right has a sweater 60f, 40f, 20f ish.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At 40f I'm just setting the house on fire to stay warm. I'll be dead by 20f.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

20f is cold but honestly it's not super uncomfortable until you start getting down into the teens and single digits.

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I start getting super uncomfortable around 68f. The two on the left lool miserable to me.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Pyjama pants stay on under the jeans when I get out of bed, then multiple layers: shirt, hoodie, sweater/jacket. Add/remove layers as-needed.

Unless I'm staying home for the day, then it's just pj pants and a hoodie all day.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I use longjohns under the pants since I feel like pyjama pants are too loose, but I guess pyjama pants have the advntage of being fairly normal to wear as pants outside whereas longjohns are a bit weird

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Wrap the pj pant leg tightly around your ankle, put socks over top, then pull on the next layer of pants.

Keeps the pj's in-place so they don't ride up your legs or stick out from under your regular pant legs, plus it stops the breeze blowing up your pant legs makin' your ankles/shins chilly.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

I'll take the coat from the left and the shorts from the right please.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I always have at least three if not four layers of clothing - easier to take off a layer than shiver.
