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'm calling this one for Ganesh. That's a dirty kick by JC, but he's already taken some big hits, and there's more on the way. Once Ganesh starts with that axe, which would normally be out if the rules, but anything goes in this Gods' Grapple showdown, it's all over.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Couldn't Jesus turn all the water in Ganesh's body into wine? That would fuck him up.

[–] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

You say that but every 3 days JC gets another shot to take down Ganesh. Ganesh has to win every time, JC just has to win once.

Idk, that axe looks more ceremonial than anything (look at the narrow haft). Too hard a swing might just snap it.

[–] jif@piefed.ca 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If they were both praying to Jesus, does one Jesus wear a different color outfit when they fight?

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

both can choose different outfit these day, one of those outfit is Kermit the Frog.

He flips a coin, maybe? The singular Jesus.

maybe if it's the same jesus. Buff Korean Jesus could kick Ecce Homo Jesus's ass, but he doesn't need to because those muscles create love

[–] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 weeks ago

Even Ganesha's mouse is getting involved.

[–] FukOui@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What if they both pray to the same god

[–] BitUnWise@programming.dev 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry you lost Timmy, apparently God does pick favorites

let's see here... last year you sacrificed... GRAIN? the fuck god demands lamb shank or better

[–] MrGabr@ttrpg.network 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm suddenly reminded of an old flash game about this concept, where various religious icons fought each other (and I think maybe they were mostly portrayed somewhat offensively?)

I remember this. Was it one of those Adult Swim flash games they used to have on their website?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 5 points 3 weeks ago

Don't worry, there are over 9000 gods, but only yours exist

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I need to understand this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 3 weeks ago

One child is praying to the Christian God, represented by the cross on the wall. The other child is praying to Ganesh, a Hindu God. They are both praying to their respective Gods to win the same thing, so Jesus and Ganesh are fighting over who wins

[–] p_consti@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The elephant is a Hindu god. So it's a fight of religions, only one child can win so the gods need to fight it out

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, yes, I always assume bedside-on-the-knee prayer is Christian, but I see Ganesh on the wall there.

depends how much people is worshipping to both, the more worshippers the more power the god has.
