Upvoted for the footer. A certain Lemmy user could learn from this.

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
Does Beep still do that? I blocked them months ago, I forgot about them until this reminded me of their existence.
BUt iTs aN aD (pretty sure thats their actual argument)
Is it Jerry?
They're all in the dishwasher, which is where they live, except for the very brief period of time in which they live in the cuddleery draw. But that's like two days tops.
Upvoted both for the comic and the footer.
Here, I cropped the credits off the comic for you:
Futureposting
Someone didnt adjust to summertime
What I imagine is a readout of user age above the comment there is... highly accurate in a real choice of a unit... How is that useful?
It's comment age and it got messed up because summertime ended for many in Europe a few hours ago. Quite funny
What do you mean "ExpirationDate = CurrentDate.Year + 1" doesnt work? Why shouldnt i sign certs that rely on this? What do you mean the VM orchestrator has spread these probkem VMs to all hosts and everything is fucked?
Datetimes are HARD. Just use a library
I just got very concerned that I had already upvoted this comment but had no memory of doing so, but then I realized you posted a screenshot
and for the lulz
I came exactly for this, to credit Extra Fabulous Comics.
Not to enjoy Spooner, the friendly clean freak ghostβs comic.
Fuckkk I was going to make this joke
Yet here I am, basking in my sweet fake internet points.
Seems like a message for people who post the comic and chop off the name and artist name because of backwards, unwarranted beliefs that only seem to stop artists from living off the work that they love to do. Surely Lemmy has no one like that ...
Yeah thankfully we seem to have nipped that in the bud, credit to the new mods ofc. That was a very frustrating ~1 month of back and forth.
And then at the same time we had overly horny comics happening at the same time without NSFW tags.
We definitely could use more content, but at least I'm not constantly annoyed by what we do get.
That arsehole went off and made a bunch of their own comms. Fortunately they rarely seem to do well.
That guy was so weird. Even the worst hill Iβve ever chosen to die on only lasted like 4 comments.
No, there are five. Are you quite sure?
angry space lizard noises
And then at the same time we had overly horny comics happening at the same time without NSFW tags.
better than the mod that would remove your post even when it was marked as NSFW.
I want this ghost in my house
Who keeps spoons in the cabinet above the counter?
The ghost expected them there because of unfinished business
Europe has this magic shit where the drying rack is inside the cabinet above the sink.
I don't understand how people elsewhere can live without that.
Clearly the ghost had already looked in more reasonable places was looking in random places since it was the last place they checked before washing dishes.
They donβt seem to have any drawers under the counter, so maybe they have a cabinet with a utensil jar inside. I have a cabinet like that because I have some ceramic knives that donβt have a knife block or blade covers and thatβs the only safe place to store them while I wait for the others to break so I can substitute them into my knife block.
NBA players maybe?
Fans of The Room so that they're already at perfect throwing height.
People who don't have drawers in their kitchen for some reason.
The people who murdered the ghost
The people who put socks in the middle drawer.
ghosts can use telekinesis, they dont use thier hands to do work of mortals.
