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.

I suppose it's a distinguishing feature, whatever the reason.
The Author seems to like em this way. I don't. The author seems to think: my comic, my rules, let the haters hate, I can't please everybody. And the author is right. Still...
And that’s fine. I’m not going to criticize the author for having their own style and sticking with it, not caving to pressure.
My critique is just a question of goals and what is most effective for conveying the intended message. I am not an expert though, so maybe a focal point like that is a conversation starter rather than a distraction.
