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)

Hey at least there's posters on the wall and an attempt to make the space livable! And he offered her a cold drink!

I loved hanging out with the single bachelors in my slut phase, but good lord, most of those guys were very content with a single chair and a TV in their apartment and only those things.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 90 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Have to admit, before I wanted a partner, I needed to build a proper "nest" to impress any potential mates. Got a home theater setup. All the right accoutrements and candles. Nice dishes, furniture, the works. I had designs to slay so much after I was done with the place. The only person I ever brought home ended up marrying me.

Before that? Mattress on the floor. One desk and chair for the computer. Didn't even have a TV.

I always liked hosting people. So even when I had trouble getting dates (most of my 20's), I still kept my place in a condition that was good for having people over, and regularly had friends and family over. Plus I always had roommates so my home would always be a place where at least some social interaction would occur.

So it's kinda wild to me to hear about people not having their apartments in a condition where people they liked and trusted could see and give feedback.

This is the advice men need to hear. Cleanliness and a hand towel go a long way, too. Also no one wants to fuck in a smelly apartment, clean your damn cat box.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (3 children)

A trashcan in the bathroom let me know my husband was the one.

How do people both simultaneously shame men for understanding and not understanding women's needs?

[–] flilare@piefed.zip 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think this more of a bar in hell thing. Who wouldn't have a trashcan in the bathroom? A demon.

Sorry I meant it as a comment on the state of men not the person I replied to

It can be very practical to live like that when you're on your own! I get it haha.

The only person I ever brought home ended up marrying me.

Damn, maybe you found your alternative career if the current one fails!

As much as I loved Heath Ledger's Joker on screen, seeing it on anything else is so cringe. I know at least 2 people with Joker tattoos and they are exactly the kind of person you would assume.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

between that and the women idolizing Harley.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I remember going to a convention the year after The Dark Knight came out and there were so many dudes dressed up as Nurse Joker and I can't help but think that many of them were just aching for the opportunity to do a little cross-dressing.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Wanna know how I got these scars? Top surgery.

Fight. Gonna be a glass chin.

[–] CountVon@sh.itjust.works 52 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Are we sure there's even gonna be a chin?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck. They've evolved a natural immunity where instead of a chin it's a ski slope .

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But that just turns a chin punch into a throat punch...not a very good defense mechanism.

Almost bought a house from a guy but decided the prominently displayed oil painting of The Joker indicated he would not hesitate to fuck me over somehow.

Can't tell if this is worse or better than my shit. How much worse are flags compared to this, most of them are fallout related none of them are WW1 or 2 related though I do want a Ukrainian anarchist flag.

Fun fact I been using some variant of vaultdweller 13 as a username since I was 12 since I played NV fell in love and then played 1 and 2 and got an isometric rpg addiction. Sadly unlike other classic Fallout fans I am neither a Slavic millennial or trans so I have little to distract from the isometric rpg withdrawal symptoms.

I had an ex-girlfriend who had grown up in her father's antique shop and inherited all his shit when he died. Watching Antiques Roadshow with her was a trip because she knew the value of everything almost to the exact dollar. However, this had greatly distorted her perception of the acceptability of some things. She had an authentic "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer" poster from the 1930s and I had to convince her that she couldn't just put that shit up over her mantelpiece and expect to have friends.

Who is the gold statuette with the Krusty hair?

[–] Milvus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Kaws... Who is an artist. I don't get it either.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Artist is named KAWS. The artist is a contemporary artist that uses brand icons, like the Mickey Mouse looking statue on the desk. It’s all very cheap and empty art that I guess some people eat up. He basically just slaps the stupid skull on everything and calls it β€œart”. Tons of merchandising, very capitalistic.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, so I'm guessing he's an Alpha artist because he's commercially successful despite being artistically bankrupt, and that's appealing to the chuds?

It’s a reference to the artist KAWS, and this specific Mickey Mouse with X instead of each eye, is called Companion.

and better taste in decor

I'd actually hang that Thanos poster up. It's so stupid I love it

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

The fridge with nothing but beer and condiments is accurate.
