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
Apathy and exhaustion are more powerful than ambition.
Not with that attitude
My ambition is to do as little as possible.
There's a whole world out there of things to see and feel and just enjoy being in. I want to do nothing at all there.
Dude, if you needed to just do nothing for a day, that's time well spent. You need time to recharge. Your value is not measured in how many tasks you can do.
The problem is if you end up doing nothing while being stressed the whole time. Some people need to do all the things that need doing before they can rest at all.
Then do the things. I'm not saying you're not allowed to do the things. Just don't beat yourself up for not doing them.
how about a small collection of weekends?
small... like between 2 and 30...
This is my gf and me. I see the weekend as a chance to rest and recover, she sees it as a chance to do all the things she didn't have time to do.
Same with my partner. We made a compromise that Saturday is a day to do stuff and Sunday I get to relax, while she continues to Get Things Done.
My wife and I are the exact opposite of this.
Sounds like you found your wife.
this neo liberal puritan bs
y'all deserve so much lazyness <3
kill the cop in your head
Now I'm sad
There is basically nothing wrong with doing nothing and letting the day pass now and then.
That being said, if you don't keep your mind occupied somehow, it's not good for your brain in the long term. I'd say the biggest danger of just passing time is that it lets your brain degrade.
It's especially good to do different activities that stimulate different aspects of your brain. Play a musical instrument or sing regularly. Solve different types of puzzles. Socialize a bit every day. Learn a new language. Exercise. Meditate. Get enough sleep and don't eat too much trash. These are the things we know that you can do for your brain.
Agreed! I really think it boils down to what John Lennon said: "Time enjoyed wasting is not wasted".
I interpret it as going beyond enjoyment, it is not beneficial anymore. Actual boredom degrades the brain, but it is also not enjoyed (as you are feeling bored, which is not nice).
Oh, I know that conversation. I seem to have it every week.
Sometimes doing nothing is all you need
Too much anything is not good but remember, resting is important. Take care of yourself.
I can't help but see his open mouth and chin lines as a frowning Hitler stache.
Oooh it's an open mouth!
The artist forgot to draw him doomscrolling on his phone.
Loved the concept of the angel and the devil agreeing on something <3
thanks, I'm seizing the day, spent the morning printi stickers and distributing them in cafes/community boards and now I'm doing mutual aid
I want to do nothing but there's some seasonal event to drive to.
