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.

Okay, but when they censor words on Metalocalypse they use guitar rifts and I enjoy that over the actual profanity.
Honestly, some writers have gotten pretty creative with censorship. Firefly's use of "in universe" curses are a good example.
Plus such classics as the tv edit of The Big Lebowski's "Find me in the alps!"
I would prefer no censorship, but that's no reason to disregard the fine work of creators trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Also, The Good Place
Absolutely!
What's great about The Good Place's "censorship" (imho), is the joke would work even if they weren't actually being censored. I get that it's a unique advantage of the shows premise, so it's more of an exception than the rule, but damn if it isn't well played!
