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

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)

Body like a truck....truck....truck!

Face like what....what....what....

That cybertruck torso

The piss stain in his pants from the Ket bladder.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 11 points 7 hours ago

Fantastic. This is a more accurate picture of musk than any photo I've seen.

My son’s high school has been without air conditioning for 2 years. I asked around the cost of repair is near 150k

Of course this means our government is garbage, but at the same time there are 20 billionaires living in my city. You’d think one of these fucks would be like β€œfuck dude, no ac in the school?? I’ll pay that bill right away” but no, Thats not how they think

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

I hear something similar in small organizations. One guy can set up a mutual aid effort and someone else can do start a mildly controversial thing and you can see the attention get split.

Something something billionaires are mentally ill

[–] Hoodoir@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Farmers keep people from starving. Governments subsidize farmers to keep prices low. Subsidies come from taxes collected from regular people. So people keep themselves from starving by helping farmers.Β

Body is a Cyber truck but the face is anemic

Lazy kid needs to hit the streets for the a job instead of trying to mooch off of the job creators. /s

[–] Hoodoir@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He certainly yearns for the mines, he just needs to look deep inside himselfΒ 

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Let me ask you a very simple question:

How do billionaires keep people from starving?

QUICKLY.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

By not paying enough tax so that all schools can offer free meals.

Do all schools have enough funds to offer free school meals? No? Tax wealth above 1bn until they do.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

Billionaire "charities": The billionaires own your workplace. They underpay you but it would be even worse if you didn't have any job, isn't it? They sell you garbage products, but haven't you thought that the fact everyone else also use them might be a sign that it's actually good, you're just too needy? They help fascists into power, but did you know that communism killed more by numbers? And no more vaccines for Africa, because they now want disease-driven eugenics.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I hear that kid is a pedophile

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 8 points 17 hours ago

Just chiming in to say OP I've seen a couple of your posts before, but this is the first time I ever clicked on your pfp out of curiousity, and it's hilarious hahaha 10/10

β€œPoverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.”

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I always wondered when capitalism deems everything is good enough. Like does it have a goal state? Because I've played games that don't have one and those always end with having to put more coins in the machine.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

The goal state is the same state of mind as that of the deranged cat lady who needlessly wants to own as many cats as possible and keep them all in her house.

It's a mental illness where the person collecting money and wealth only understands collecting more and more endless amounts of wealth and power ... more than they can ever realistically ever enjoy in one lifetime.

Think about it ..... it's like wanting to horde bananas ... the person keeps hording endless amounts of bananas until their banana pile is the size of Mount Everest and reaches into the clouds ... but the person keeps wanting to add to the pile and not allow any else to touch their pile or take anything from it.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 25 points 17 hours ago

This should be repeated as often as possible.

[–] kalkulat@lemmy.world 26 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I remember a bunch of movies where torches and pitchforks helped.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm always game for a good old fashioned peasant uprising.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

That wasn't aimed at the billionaire. It was aimed at the billionaire's monster, a misunderstood child-like creature abused into madness.

A business is made, and is successful. WELL DONE.

Instead of a billion dollars going to the owner and, let's say, 100K in salary to each worker... what if the CEO only made 100 million, and the employees each made 500K in salary?

Is that communism?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

what if the CEO only made 100 million, and the employees each made 500K in salary?

The Raytheon Strategy.

Works great if you're trying to bribe Nazi ex-pats into compliance while fighting a war of arms escalation.

Is that communism?

True Communism can only be achieved if we wipe all the current communists off the map, take their stuff, and impose "democracy" through an occupying military.

Friendly reminder that over 4 million children are in the process of dying because of his actions cutting foreign aid.

You have to be truly mentally ill, or something less than human, to be this kind of evil.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 5 hours ago

You could be both indifferent and ignorant at the same time. No inherent danger in that unless you're super rich and powerful and everything you do has global consequences.
