Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.
Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.
Wasn't shittymorph one of the ones who came here with the exodus?
They're still posting on reddit. So either they never went or they came here, seen the state of the platform and promptly left.
I think there were a number of power users for whom that was the case
Looks like it might be the latter. I see this profile, but the cake day and the last post were both over a year ago.
He's not morphing anymore though, which is kind of sad, but understandable.
They are - on reddit. Someone linked a comment here from a month ago. They just didn't stay on lemmy, if they ever came here.
That's a chatbot.
The real one posts exclusively on Pillowfort.
I don't like Star Trek, I don't understand Linux, and I don't even know what you mean by "beans". Unless you mean the actual food......but that doesn't answer any questions.
I admire your honesty, it's a bold strategy on the internet.
Beans is referencing the period where bean memes were the popular meme. There wasn't a reason (that I could see), people just posted bean memes for a while.
That was annoying.
Welcome to memes!
I miss shittymorph 😢
Anyone still in contact with the Bad Place:
I miss shittymorph, what a legend.
Ooo gottem
I am unable to parse that last paragraph
It's a reference to a reddit user (https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1gnxkgd/comment/lweabef/) who would post these intricate comments with these really engaging stories that would then end with that last paragraph, which describes the events of a 1998 wrestling show where the wrestler The Undertaker threw the wrestler Mankind (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankind_vs._The_Undertaker) and the type of wrestling match (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_in_a_Cell ).
The user was contributing to the discussion and shitposting at the same time. It was glorious.
