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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It kills any nostalgia I have for the character, because race swapping very rarely means just a change in skin color
I'm fine with black characters. I prefer female characters. Ultimately, I don't care that much. Give me good writing
Make me care about them for who they are. Oh, you want to make my beloved character Pakistani? Go fuck yourself. I don't care about the actor, don't change my character.
You want to make a Haitian main character? I'm listening.
Write well, pay respect to the characters and the work. That's the only rule...I don't know why it's seemingly impossible to follow
To do that, you need these special people called writers and you need to give them time and money, and that seems like a hassle, doesn't it? Can't we just make unpaid interns brainstorm stuff and figure out what will drive engagement on social media instead?
