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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
How does this square with your belief of being good to everyone?
There's clearly a level which we agree is unacceptable.
It's not nearly that childish. I was talking about treating non-violent people well and you jumped straight to Hitler. Can we acknowledge there's a pretty big difference there?
Despite being against the death penalty I still feel robust self defense is essential. If someone is attacking you, being good to them is applying the appropriate level of force and not going out of your way to harm them extra for funsies. Even in the rare situation I'm fine with people being deleted, it should be that mundane. No torture. No pain. No consideration for what they've done. It's a practical necessity.
Of course there was a large difference. I needed one to see if there was a point where we'd both agree. We're largely in agreement otherwise too.
