Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ 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.
🧬 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.
📽️ 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!
📋 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.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ 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.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 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:

Markdown - Links / Images

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)

Transcript

Comic in 3 Panels

Panel 1: Joe Rogan squinting at his guest on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience

Joe: So you’re saying you’ve never been fed?

Panel 2: A grey cat is being interviewed. Food crumbs are visible at the corner of its mouth. There is an open can of food next to it.

Cat: That’s right Joe. I’ve never been fed in my entire whole life.

Panel 3: Joe looking shocked at the revelation which is clearly 100% true

Joe: Wow.

It's entirely possible

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 1 point 47 minutes ago

what did that feel like like, when you first found found out you'd never been fed before?

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

This is giving joe way too much credit, he's Far dumber than that.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 27 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Man, 2013 Rogan was just him talking to other out of work comedians about Fear Factor. Not sure I miss it? Definitely would prefer it.

Yeah, same here honestly

As awful as I found fear factor itself (I’m very afraid of heights and squeamish), I’d still prefer it.

It wasn't the heights I had a problem with watching. It was the eating. My stomach got unhappy just watching.

Yeah, I don’t love the idea of being covered in bugs or snakes or something, but it’s definitely worth a huge sum of money. I know eating live scorpions (or similar) isn’t worth it for me, and I’m pretty sure I’d literally have a heart attack if I had to do a heights challenge, so they’re definitely not paying enough.

I love that this is a comic now.

How did my cat get on Joe Rogan?

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago (1 child)

The cat is part of a right-wing propaganda group, so Joe was 100% on board with having it.

Not true. All cats are members of the same anarchy organization. He just duped them into thinking he is in alignment with them.

Cats are (American) libertarians.

Completely dependent on a system they neither understand or appreciate, while claiming complete independence from it, and constantly try to tear it all down.

American libertarians are just republicans who are ashamed to call themselves that. Also, some of them like weed.

parent

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Well, you've messed up my claim. Yes, some cats are totally like that, and would never survive on their own. Others wouldn't give their past human servants a second thought if they found themselves outside. Still, they are not right wing.

Right wing, left wing, they'll eat the whole bird, ~~thanks~~

parent

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 child)

The right-wing attitude can be boiled down to "I've got mine, fuck you, give me yours".

The details vary, but that's the core of it.

Cats certainly qualify. I own three of them and they're all assholes.

Feral cats even benefit from the vast amounts of waste we generate. Mice and other prey live off our scraps, even if the cats don’t directly.

It’s scary how analogous they are to the libertarians. Never seen a cute libertarian though.

Have tried giving one a makeover?

Exactly. Because you never thought to share /smh

I love Adam Tots stuff. Not my favorite of his, and no I'm not a Rogan fan, but not bad for a weekly submission.

That's interesting, I saw this same joke yesterday in text form, I wonder if he got it from that

Considering the comic says «tweet by @spinningjoe» in the bottom right, I think it is safe to assume he did!

Good on him to actually give the source of the joke. Awesome!
