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)

What if I was 0% likely to vote for either of them?
If you're a "both sides equally bad" type without more moral objections to one side over the other, you're in the clear!
What if you won't support a party that did and does genocide?
I think my point still stands. Think both sides are wrong? Pick a side and help fix it; just get involved in your local politics as well as the national ones.
I think the number of overall real human people who are for real human rights is vaaaaastly higher than the number of ghouls out there trying to take power by force. Get involved.
I've been to several No-Kings protests (example, among others) and the number of Palestinian flags and the love those people get is undeniable. I don't know anyone who is in support of genocide. I think there's a very vocal minority of "people" - but probably a lot of money - that influence where policy goes. We can oust a zionist and/or corrupt politician before they become the front-runner by being in the gears. I think we do that by getting involved
It might not be fast, but it'll be faster than giving up. Get involved.
In the shorter term, do you think that - of the options we have at this moment - there is a worse choice?
How about you vote against them while getting involved.
I think you cowards should take up arms and "water the tree of liberty" or whatever goofy shit you guys believe in.
There's no fixing the country founded on slavery genocide and war.
Then perfect is the enemy of better and the side of the greater evil ends up winning.
Sounds like it's time to stop the country that won't stop doing evil, lol.
That would be great! Better vote in the party that has even a few members who would support that rather than the one that has absolutely none. Have to start somewhere.
So you agree that your country is evil and should be stopped. Then trump causing the collapse of the country is good for the rest of the planet, right?
No, because it will drag the rest of the world down with it. There are better ways to make its government at least less evil to start. Or, barring that, the rest of the world needs to further unhook its reliance on it so a collapse would have minimal impact on everyone else.
Fair, I'm just hoping the rest of the world gets its shit together sooner rather than later and sanctions the country out of existence!
While a redemption would be best, turning it into a pariah is second best if it can't ever get its shit together. No matter what, though, its old role as the "world's policeman" is over.
Which is good, hopefully burgeoning socialist projects can actually stand a chance without being couped by the CIA and a fascist dictator friendly to imperial extraction installed now π€
It's funny how all you .mlers tacitly support Trump, or at the very least align your beliefs with his claims.
Would Kamala have gotten us into a war with Iran, .mler? Wrong answers only.
Trump should have been executed after he tried to coup the government. Yes, Kamala campaigned with Liz Cheny on having the most lethal military in the world, there is a good chance she would have bombed Iran. At the very least she was going to continue to arm Israel to continue the job Biden accelerated.
Are you advocating voting for a party guilty of genocide, lib?
Oh hey would you look at that, Stephen Miller claimed Kamala would have invaded Iran too.
You guys fucking love Trump, just admit it
You guys don't mind genocide, as long as it's a democrat doing it, just admit it
Not a denial, +1 for me -1 for .mlers
I literally said he should have been executed, lmfao.
Sounds a little delusional, friend. And I don't speak for an entire instance, as I'm sure most people on yours are thankful you don't speak for all of them!
Edit: also, not a denial, this guy is literally pro genocide according to his own logic, lmao.
Yet your messaging aligns directly with the fascists! Interesting how that works.
Also no, I'm not pro genocide. I just understand that petulantly shitting myself when the world doesn't immediately bend to my whim is an ineffective strategy. Something you've yet to figure out, which is why what you say and what Stephen Miller says aligns.
Just admit that you love the Trump presidency
Lmfao, I bet you took kamalas loss real well, champ. I also bet you behaved like a totally normal person and blamed the establishment for not doing their job and earning votes, and not the voters who wouldn't support genocide, afterwards.
The irony of this statement is palpable. I'm just gonna let it sit here.
If you think me saying trump should have been executed is endorsing him or his positions, I don't know what to tell ya.
Well, my words never mirror Stephen Miller's so I think I did pretty well. What about you?
I'm sure you've said similar sentences to him before, and when it's something as obvious as "will an American president go to war", I think most people would agree with me and old nosferatool.
Doesn't bother me, I don't live in your shit hole, and American foreign policy is generally bipartisan.
Oh we're going with 'I'm rubber, you're glue'?
Got it, so you have no answer as to why you align with Stephen Miller. Just admit you love Trump, it's easier for everyone that waymn
Why don't you tell me why you don't believe a woman when she speaks. Do you think kamala was lying when she said she'd have the most lethal military on the planet?
