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]

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)

Unfortunately it's not a shag carpet
I don't get it
the carpet matches the drapes
- (colloquial, vulgar, humorous) A woman's pubic hair is of the same color as the hair on her head, i.e. her hair is not dyed.
I've met two people with naturally differently colored ordinary hair and pubic hair. Not sure how common that is, but based off of that anectodal evidence, I wouldn't presume that, if the carpet doesn't match the drapes, that person is dying their hear. Hmm, I wonder. The pubic hair was pitch black in both cases, interestingly.
I bet some people also dye their pubes
Bern there, done that. The colour does not stick for super long if you use brands that don't come with risky chemicals though.
Not exclusive to women, but mostly.
Jokes on you, Im bald
So no carpet, just hard wood?
Eyebrows could be drapes
Β―\(γ)/Β―
A common, incredibly lame thing people wonder about (in particular with redheads) is if the carpet match the drapes.
In other words, if the color of the hair on their head matches the color of their pubic hair. How that's a comic in 2026 is beyond me.
Edit: words starting with the same letter are not necessarily the same
Itβs less a thing to wonder about, and more a crude way to proposition someone you want to hookup with, and the crudeness is part of signaling that fucking is the primary thing youβre interested inβ so if they arenβt, they can tell you to go away and not waste your time, and if they are, an acceptance of the line makes mutual intentions exceptionally clear.
How that's a comic in 2026 is beyond me.
I'm pretty sure that I've seen this comic before. It may not be from 2026.
hits TinEye
First hit there was seen March 11, 2013.
if the curtains match the drapes.
The curtains are the drapes.
Maybe that's why they're so confused about it still being a comic in 2026.
Carpet*
Not sure how anyone could get that wrong like you've done.
That's alright, I'm all giddy thinking about all the other occult and unexplainable miracles the world has to offer you.
Thanks for the heads up though, made the edit.
They really pulled the curtains out from under us.
Does the carpet match the rug
I can assure you that this comic was drawn and posted long before 2026.
It answers the question if the carpets match the drapes.
Star Trek Voyager makes a "carpet match the drapes" joke. Neelix says it. It's subtle af but still made my jaw drop because it's super racy for ST.
