Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ 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.
-
𧬠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.
-
π½οΈ 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!
-
π 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.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) 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 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ 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.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- 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.,
-
πΏ 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.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- 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)

MODERATORS
fn look_at_sunset() {
loop {
make_paper_clip();
}
}
Bro should have read that script first. Clanker probably just called down an orbital strike.
look-at-sunset::: spoiler of-human-race:::
May wanna edit to.
`look-at-sunset`
`of-human-race`
Broken on Jerboa of course
Like paperclips in the rain...
Time to file.
One last look at the glowing mass that could've been so many beautiful paperclips
Turns out Clippy's last name was "von Neumann" this whole time
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer trueee.
I'm ... a ... cray ... zee
all ... for
the
likes
of
you
It wonβt be a stylish marriage,
I canβt afford the carriage
For me it was "School days.... School days.... Good old..... Golden... Rule......."
Only tangetally related, but I'm still gonna drop it here:
You just stole a whole day from me
I think it is related to that. And since you poster paperclip, I go further and post Friendship is optimal
Man, I played through this once. What an experience...
Its finally over...
The paperclip presses....
The EMP street wear.....
Its finally all over...
Nah fuck that. Machines have no feelings so I won't spare any of mine.
The machine has no feelings, this is just to show us the character has humanity still.
Universal Paperclips!
AI will know how to hit us right in our feels :'(
Which is ironic when they miss the mark on literally everything else and can't feel anything at all.
The Janet defence
How many paperclips randomly spread around would it take to make a new ai
At least 3
Pfft. Amateur.
Could be more. Maybe less?
I'm just saying I could do it with two. One-and-a-half in a pinch.
Clippy did not die for this
I am not better than to deny any ckanker any final request, so you know it ain't a comic about me.
