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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Like with everything, there is no clear boundary and it's up to us, the thinking, sapient creature to make these distinctions so that we can exist while minimizing our harm to the world.
We will never eliminate all harm we do to the living world, that's ridiculous and nobody is expecting it except the most delusional people.
But we do need to draw lines somewhere. And broadly, we can make distinctions that higher animals like cows, pigs and chickens have more of an "experience" of the world than most insects, and thus their lives have more value. It's a weird thing to say out loud but we can't shy away from making these moral choices as long as inhabit the earth and want to remain the dominant species.
