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)

MODERATORS
What's that, a humanoid lizard fused with a spacesuit?
Shut up and go watch Dragon Ball Z.
*Abriged
Don't wanna.
This is odd because Mimi is sitting there, composed with heveled hair, and generally being a functioning professional. Blunt, but sheβs still doing alright.
Also, the fuck is she doing with a job like that? I always figured sheβd be some sort of shameless upskirt paparazzo.
She'll do anything for the bit. That's my girl
She's one of those characters who do anything and everything and are every age at the same time depending on what each individual strip needs. Like a feral Barbie.
Like a feral Barbie
Title of your autobiography π
It helps to think of her as a modern Bugs Bunny
βHey Tanis, the fuck does βheveledβ mean?β
Itβs the opposite of disheveled, naturally. I also use gruntled in precisely this way.
I find your use of language to be larming. It's highly concerting.
Frankly, reading this I can't say your bold use of vocabulary is perfectly tracting.
Reserve judgement until after they survive saying βnoβ and demanding it anyways
lets be real, they wanted to draw a dope picture of the character, and it got turned into a comic
A classic.
Honestly though, how old is Mimi? She is both in school, but also has full time jobs.
She's the modern day Jucika
Nah. She's even more chaotic
She's an eldritch horror whos age is beyond human comprehension of time, naturally
And this is the real reason you donβt ask women their ageβ¦. One of them might be a Deep One
Sheβs however old she needs to be for the comic to be at its funniest, as all comedy character should be.
I don't think It's revealed in the comics
