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.

MODERATORS
Take a look at Meta's social media market share; people don't give a shit about their data.
That's not my point. Do you really think would people want to live out the rest of their existence in a digital space under the dictatorship of some power-hungry billionaires? If they can even be arsed to do anything, they'd most likely abandon it after a few years (just like what's happening to the metaverse and every other similar online space already) leaving you spending your days in a literal void.
If anything they'd just shut it off, killing any consciousness trapped in the simulation.
But my point is I think you underestimate the amount of people who would bw interested regardless of all the negatives.
Maybe I still have too much faith in humanity, but no, I don't think I underestimate the amount.
