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
Stuff like this makes women seem incredibly judgemental, while also demanding to not be judged.
I agree with you. Why are those the only options ? Everyone is allowed to have hobbies and decoration taste.
I think as a guy you should never express interest in anything because it's going to be problematic tomorrow.
Lol that Thanos poster is lit
You ain't lying, not sure I agree with the sentiment, but fucking great execution.

Not sure why he's praying, you'd think a titan wouldn't have time for that sort of thing
He's about to tell you something that's going to be difficult for you to hear.
Praying? Look at how he is dressed... He is clearly about to go in for a 2 handed karate chop.
I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.
Might as well collect what you loveβ¦as long as you donβt keep them in jars it should be fine.
My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).
Too... hot...?
Don't kink-shame.
Iβm a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.
She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.
Being anti-brony is a symptom of toxic masculinity. The Internet went after that fandom in a way I haven't seen since furries.
My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:
In my living room at the time:
All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
70% sure she just married me for the TV.
Holy cow. That TV! Actually awesome, seems uniquely aesthetically pleasing for the era it seems to originate from.
What can you tell us about that TV?
The origjnal is a Philco Predicta from around 1958 or so. The Philco brand existed for years and years, first as a maker of radios, then as a maker of televisions.
The retro-futurist Predicta line ran for just 2 years, 1958 to 1960.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicta
It definitely gained a hold though and has been featured in both the Sims and Fallout games:
In the 90's, the brand was acquired by a tiny company called Telstar who hand-made reproductions using Phillips parts, that's who made mine in 2001.
25", full color, with composite, component and S-Video inputs. It even supports 480p video!
"Honey, will you marry me?"
um, I dunno...
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."
a bit strange but I don't really see the problem tbh. Are these references I'm not getting? I recognize joker and thanos.
The Thanos poster has been "alpha-male"-ified and the joker is a cringe incel reference. The fact you don't know is a good thing.
How is the joker an incel reference? Great movie
Incels scorn society and the world for making them ugly, no powerful jawline, no American Pie sex adventures in high school, and no nice suits to wear to their minimum wage jobs. To incels, they are the forgotten scum of the earth.
Well, The Joker is a film about an abused, poor, and lonely comedian getting his face kicked in by teenagers about a month before rising up, killing a late night tv host, and vengefully breaking Society down into chaos and misery.
So, they just think The Joker makes them look cool. That's really it. Every time they think about shooting up an elementary school, they also think about Arthur Fleck gunning down Murray Franklin.
This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.
The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. π
Any future partner better match my energy LOL
My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis
Joker poster
Fight option
She should don Catwoman costume, gently pummel the dude to submission, and say "How's this for a BOTTOM TEXT"?
I am old, please explain. :?(
The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people
I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I've been living under a rock. Is this about "incels" or this sigma thing?
Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren't nice!
Being a nice person isn't bad but "nice guy" is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they're attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They'll often talk about how nice they are.
Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.
Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).
I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I'll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.
Bro yall labeled people too quit acting like it's so :pinches nose: unthinkable! I don't even know where you're from and I know that's bullshit.
Here we are. Adapt. Take responsibility.
You apparently have been living under a rock because there is a world of difference between someone who is nice and also a guy and someone being a "nice guy".
Also the posters are red flags not because they reference nerdy things but because they show an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters who, though charismatic, are evil people who justify their violent actions with straw man arguments about power and corruption. The words on the Thanos poster put an especially fine point on that part.
It's just a bunch of memes. Let the guy decorate his apartment how he wants.
