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

It's safe. It's just milk. Also my dad gave me boobs, look.

I was raised without religion, and decided as a teen that I'm atheist. For that, I will be forever grateful to my parents.
Imagine learning about all the weird rituals as a young adult. I didn't grow up with the idea that virtual cannibalism is just another normal Sunday.
Fun fact some Christians believe the bread and wine literally turn to blood and flesh when you eat them. Like miraculously and in the most literal sense transform. I think there was some pretty big schisms/fights about this.
Catholics mainly are the ones to push this.
Yeah, that's Catholicism. They've got a couple of weird magical aspects to their faith. Protestants believe it's all symbolic. Not sure what Orthodox Christians believe about this.
I still think it's weird that that's the part Catholics go with literalism on. They usually go with things being metaphors, like the seven day creation story's bit about 'let the earth bring forth' being a reference to evolution, but this thing, specifically, is literal.
As the oldest denomination mysticism is bound to be present and in some cases persist.
The Orthodox Church is equally the oldest (extant) denomination as the Catholic Church and they're not as literal on this topic.
To be fair though, it really does. Everything we eat and drink gets broken down into nutrients, absorbed and used to make new cells. There's nothing spiritual about "you are what you eat."
JFC.
Jesus Food Christ
Jesus, Jesus. C'mon man.
Yes the hummus is something. It also was something else, but it is now something. Best avoid it, unless youβre really into recyclingβ¦
The hummus is the product of taco bell!ππ
Hummus is cummus.
He wasn't being metaphorical he literally blood let and peeled off pieces of his torso.
So we're not going to talk about that unexplained hand with a knife on the left?
Whats that about?
Why all the kink shaming as soon as it just sounds like canabalism?
As an atheist, I never thought much about this line before. But now that I think about it, it sounds like an analogy to try to explain nonduality.
