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]

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)

![Shams TabrΔ«zΔ«la) (1185-1248) was a Persian[1] dervish[1] and poet, [2] best known for his companionship with Rumi.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9c20bb30-746c-4941-b49a-fff9b30c1c81.jpeg)
Everyone else acting proud to not know the Kpop Demon Hunters character and then there's me proud that the comic strip child character supports best girl.
Like I get it if you like Zoey, she's basically an autistic icon, and I hope the next movie gives us more of her, because so many of us saw ourselves in her, but the first movie wasn't really about her. She was just there.
I had no idea what this was about. Not proud of it, nor ashamed.
I've seen some clips of the movie and it really isn't for me. I really don't like singing in movies, breaks the immersion for me. I don't mind music itself, just the characters singing. I don't know why it has the effect it has.
Eh, who knows. Not everything's for everybody. Normally I'd agree with you, but I got really into this one.
Last year we took our 8-year-old niece to see the movie in theatres. It's the sing-along version, and we instructed her to stand on her seat and sing each song. We stood up and sang, too. It was fun. Might not ever do it again and that's fine.
I guess I'd heard of them both, and certainly KPop Demon Hunters more recently (my fav: "This is What it Sounds Like").
But, if someone asked me who "Rumy" was, I couldn't answer. But, the final panel gave me enough context to remember that Rumi and not the other one.
My favourite song from the movie as well.
I'm not ashamed to admit I haven't heard of the poet. But, poetry isn't my thing, hence the inability to be ashamed of not knowing it. I do listen to some K-Pop and I have a niece who watches the movie religiously.
...How the hell did I miss that Zoey is coded autistic? I just had her pegged as "the creative one", never mind the 700 2-second videos of turtles, or her very specific insecurities!
Someone once said that they all have autistic tendencies, but Zoey's character/writing really leans into it.
There's also how every time they all say something, she's the one who says something different.
That actually makes me wonder if one or a few of the script writers have some autistic tendencies. I read something similar happened with the author of The Murderbot Diaries.
But yeah, given how Zoey seems to have more tells, I suspect she got that treatment more intentionally
I think you could interpret some of her characteristics as hyperfocusing on very specific interests.
Oh, for sure. For some reason, I keep thinking that's just a common thing for some people to do :D
This went right over my head, and I just watched the movie a week ago lol.
I saw it once before (which was before it got popular), and the same was true both times... It was alright. I liked it, but it wasn't amazing.
Always somewhat random what kids end up clinging to haha.
Why is there a dick sticking out of the top of Rumi's turban?
It was already like this when he bought it at the dick hat store.
He was a dickhead?
Okay, that's a good one. π
i dunno,maybe its also like the 'six's and sevens' of Eva peron singing dont cry for me argentina.
Who else?
ooh Roomy
