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.

Yup. Steve created a community, he stayed healthy, he cared about the things that mattered to him the most... and fuck anyone who thinks that's somehow more harmful than scrolling every night until you fall asleep, listening to streamers rant about politics or the latest video game patches.
The most important thing you can do to make both the world better and your own experience of it better is to challenge yourself and be social. We are hardwired to have social connections and without them, we slip into apathy and hate and despair. Even if you're deep off the far edge neurodivergent spectrum, you need people, you need friends or family or a future with others to look forward to.
When you care about your life and the people around you, you will have more pressure to get off your damn ass and either learn more about the world or just DO something about it, and that's where we're having the biggest problems right now, people are not DOING things. When we were less connected, we had stronger communities. I was there 3000 years ago, I've seen it.
But all the interesting people are in the computer, the same place as the bad stuff is.
I bet interesting people are walking past where you live RIGHT NOW*
