Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

38-years-old, max, unless he's some kind of freak with a different number of fingers on each hand.

[–] starik@lemmy.today 16 points 1 day ago

He’s definitely not some kind of freak.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What do you think his hands look like on odd numbered years?

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

That's when the "tie-breaker" comes into play

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That really doesn’t look like the hairline of a 38 year old to me.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Stephen King novel idea: You are born without fingers, you grow a new one for every year you’ve been alive.

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

But the fingers don't just grow on your hands

He grew so many fingers for nothing! He could count way more efficient with the fingers at hand cough.

I.e. the sumerians used to count to 60+ with 2 hands. They and their sexagesimal system.

[–] frog@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could also do binary and count up to 31 on 1 hand or 1023 or both hands.

Whoa.

And what if... if you used those positional finger values (that has power.) in conjunction with a non-binary value per finger. In it's literal sense, with more than 2 states. Oh. The possibilities!

I think I've seen this image before AI but the joke was about how artists convey movement. That smear frames look really weird in a static image

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

At this point, AIs are better at getting the number of fingers correct than some humans

[–] stevles@aussie.zone 1 points 22 hours ago

Sea anemone fingers!

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

His mother was a venus fly trap.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

Ah, the Chernobyl generation.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm sick of these AI slop images.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Why he look like Warren Jeffs tho
