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.
Limit of two posts per person per day.
Bots aren't allowed.
Banned users will have their posts removed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Disclaimer (just in case) : This comic is not an attack on other creators.

I fully respect, and look up to a lot of people that post in whatever space. And yes, that includes the sexy comics.

They should still share it with their "mom and—". No shaming.

Post needs text alternative.

Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative:

usability
- we can't quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can't
  - reflow text to varied screen sizes
  - vary presentation (size, contrast)
  - vary modality (audio, braille)
accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can't read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can't adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can't read the text to them or send it to braille devices
searchability: the "text" isn't indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

Yea. People need to stop being prudes about sex.

(Speaking in general) Your parents have literally fucked. It's the entire reason you exist. Stop being ashamed and embarrassed about it.
