Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Nothing against you, OP. I just don't enjoy these comics. They're telling me things I already knew and they're not particularly funny while doing it.
If being relatable was the only thing you need to tell a joke, then "how about that airplane food?" wouldn't have become the stand-in joke for a "bad comedian".
Yeah they are pretty terrible. The problem is the op is a great poster and blocking them would block good content and this community has other stuff I like. I wonder if I can block by a multiword keyword..
Iirc PieFed has a much more robust filtering mechanism than Lemmy, so it might do this if that's what you desire
It is worth mentioning that the artist still draws silly comics that are not about politics; they just aren't the ones that get posted here very often.
the term is "agreedian" - a comedian who says things you agree with, not ones that are funny.
Yeah, comics are supposed to make laugh. This is just preachy shit.
I don't believe that, comics are comics and can cross an entire range of emotional triggers just like movies or a TV show. Many opt for comedy yes, some make you sad, some are "preachy" etc
I mean everyone has different tastes, it's impossible for someone only to post things everyone likes
Yeah, I know. It's just this one broke the camel's back, so to speak, and I felt compelled to comment.
