    This has been me most of this week. Just buried in as much distraction as possible.

    Of course you would turn to the comics. They are right there and it might be your last chance to read them.

    Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.

        That’s understandable and not implied by the comic, so you’re not targeted by my joke.

      The meteor and global warming are both the same, still trying to kill people. I will vote third-party for world peace instead.

        A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.

        I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.

          Unfortunately, most people won’t understand this and still vote for third party even when third party will almost certainly never win, in the context of present day Murican politics.

              40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us…

              Hmmm… I vote we change the moon’s orbit a bit. I’m a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.

        Is this sarcastic where the ‘apolitical’ friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?

          Nail on the head. Worse yet, my more centrist friends basically cheered at trump’s win. Not so centrist I guess right? What happened to “both candidates are equally bad guys”?

    There’s a mass without roofs,

    A prison to fill

    A country soul

    That reads comics no bills

    A strike and a line of cops outside of the mill

    There’s the right to obey and the right to kill

    Tired of always the same doomsday news. Yees you got repeatedly a conviccted felon with ties to russia as president. Yees, Israel genocides and Russia does next stupid thing in Ukraine. Children are dying of hunger and celebrity X broke up with Y. Comics are fun.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 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. 📽️ 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. 📋 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.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  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:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

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)
