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)

This comic must be ten years old. Perfect for the title.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow. I was ready to post a snarky reply about how the N64 is not 30 years old, and then I did the math, and I do not like this realization!

Sure, we had a simpler life when children, but let’s be honest: the world sucking is separate from our past. Our generation was sold an idea, that was a fiction, and a bunch of people have profited from misery, from war, from racism. It would be hubris to think we could fix it, but the last decade continues to prove that progress is not always a straight line.

I wish I still loved video games as much I used to.

This year I seen to have lost my desire to play them (decades later than my father wished I had) but I don't seem to have developed a new desire to replace that one. It reminds me of how being 13 and unable to have fun with my Legos the way I used to felt.

The 90’s weren’t 20 years ago fam

[–] arak@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

This is what happens when people just repost other's work.

Proportionally smaller pizza

[–] tyler@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but you know a lot more about the world in the first pane and so it’s not carefree.

Also, that time on the couch is now just a brief oasis before having to return to the wasteland of a soul devouring job.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

It's missing the window, which in the past shows a tree, and in the present shows a burning hellscape

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

There are only 3.25 years of the nineties left that were twenty some years prior to the current year, 2026, in the calendar of our lord Robert

[–] twinnie@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago

More like 35 years ago.
