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]
- 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.,
-
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
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)

MODERATORS
I'd love if they made this a tv show, and shot it with "Kramer" still being a character. However, Micheal Richards is not part of the show.
They get a voice actor who can do a voice impression of Kramer, but there's no actual human body. The 3 actors interact with air.
They rig the door to open as if he were opening it, and they all act like he's there.
They could even do a scene where Kramer explains his physical absence.
K: "Oh, Jerry, it's the newest thing! Yeah it's called AI. You just replace your whole existence with an artifical intelligence! Isn't that wild???"
J: "Yeah, for you that would be an upgrade having any intelligence at all!"
E: "Kramer, I don't think that's what AI is. I don't know WHAT this is, but it's not AI."
G: "Yeah. Where's your body?"
K: "Oh, I'm out there, baby!"
J: "You certainly are out there, that's for sure!"
K: "Jerry, you gotta get in on this! It's the wave of the future! I'm telling ya! By 2032 nobody is going to have a physical body!"
J: "Remember when you said I should invest in Enron?"
K: "Hey, that wasn't my fault. They were making CRAZY money!"
J: "Yeah, it WAS crazy! Crazy illegal! And remember when you said Vine was the next big thing?"
K: "And it was!......for about 12 seconds."
J: "How did you even DO this anyway???"
E: "Yeah, I'm confused what's even happening here. We can't see you, we can't smell you, we can hear you somehow, but we can't touch you."
K: "Oh you can touch me alright!"
Elaine gives disgusted face
G: "Well hold on, maybe theres some merrit to this. Let me ask you this, Kramer. Could I use this to NOT be at my job, but my bosses think I am?"
J: "Oh, here we go...."
K: "Well I don't see why not. They can't see you. You pop your head in at the start of the day, they hear your voice, and pop in at the end of the end of the day, who's to say what you were doing the rest of the day?"
J: "That's so stupid!"
G: "No it's GENIUS!!! I can get 8 different full time jobs, with 8 different pay checks, not do ANY of the work, and do about 30 minutes of effort a day! I'M BACK BABY!!!"
J: "There no way THIS plan could go wrong...."
door opens, nobody enters, Newmans voice
"Hello Jerry!"
J: "Oh, now Newman is doing it too???"
Newman walks in carrying an oversized postal package
N: "Doing what? I just brought this package you ordered. Sign here."
J: "I thought you were invisable.....Hello........Newman."
N: "I was wondering where that was. Invisable? Why would I be invisable?"
K: "Because why WOULDN'T you want to be invisable???"
Newman screams and falls backwards over the couch
N: "Kramer??? You're invisable???"
E: "Ugh, don't ask. It's a whole thing...."
N: "But how?"
K: "It's called AI...."
E: "No it's not....."
K: "Alright smartypants! Why don't YOU tell us what it is then?"
E: "I don't know. It all feels like a jump the shark moment, like Pickle Rick."
J: "Pickle Rick? Oh, you mean that guy who had a deli on 8th street until he went crazy trying to forcefully sell people his own brand of pickles."
E: "Yeah, that's Pickle Rick. What else would I call him?"
That sounds odd.
edit: Also, while I'd love for lemmy to get huge, it's cool that our community allows for recognition of people with whom I've interacted previously.
