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 can hear this comic.
they should do 1 20 minutes episode revival where it's just the 3 of them (not kramer obvs) talking in the booth about new tech
I'd rather not have Jerry either tbh, he doesnt seem to think he can be funny without being somehow hateful apparently.
Jerry is a Zionist loser who heard "never again" and thought "yeah, let's exterminate the Palestinians so that no genocide will happen again"
It's human to lose your shit sometimes. I think he sincerely apologised.
Edit: ok I've done some soul searching and I've realized that I don't really care who they are off set. Be they racists, communists, or nazis IRL, if what they say on the show is funny to me, I'm gonna watch it.
I'm usually like this if it's a one time thing. In his case IDK I just said that because other people still say he is an asshole. But I won't support people that we know are not sorry and would still do it if they could, even if they are famous. Like the unhinged Kanye.
Hmm true, I guess Kanye would actually be beyond the line for be as well
Nope, cancelled forever. As a warning to anybody who might be tempted to express himself honestly.
Modern people with the collective knowledge of humanity at their fingertips think any transgression against their standards merits permanent exile into the desert, like in the Bible. Redemption is impossible in the new age of enlightenment.
No way Jerry would do it without Michael Richards.
Why no Kramer?
Said some things on stage he really shouldn't have, but people make mistakes and usually grow from it, so we'll see who he is now.
I see. Very unfortunate. Racism is complicated and more deeply rooted the most will realize and accept. What he said isn't okay and never will be. I hope he's grown since then and made amends for his mistakes.
I think he has moved on from what he did. He was in a semi-recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry and I seem to remember they spoke briefly about it. Maybe not, though.
Unfortunately for him though, there are no take-backs. Nor should there be. He metaphorically hit the lottery, and wasted all his winnings right there on that stage.
Thought he apologized for that. Doesn't make it right, but still.
Most awkward ever
The audience laughing fucking kills me lmao
Incredibly misguided of Jerry to think a comedy show was the best place.
My goodness, what judgmental little insects we have become.
Nope sorry, you're not allowed to learn from your mistakes anymore. Unless you rationalize that boomers made your actions unavoidable.
Question for you:
Let's say the cashier at the local supermarket calls a customer some slurs. Someone records it on their phone. it blows up. Should the supermarket fire them?
Should that person never get another job ever again? "You said something bad so you and your family must starve!"
Fired? Yes.
Banned from all other jobs? No.
Banned from jobs that are customer service related? Yes.
Banned from jobs that are customer service related forever? No.
Being cancelled should be treated like a timeout. You won't eat your peas, fine no dessert. Well try again tomorrow.
This is harder when we shift this to talking about comedians. For a comedian to have a job, people have to want to go to see them specifically. If I go to a show, and have a notably bad experience, I'm probably not going to go see that person / group / whatever again, and if I see videos and read news articles about someone else's bad experience, that's also probably enough to make me not want to see them, too.
So, maybe celebrities that get cancelled should have to find a new industry to work in, if what they did is bad enough. At the very least, they need to change their image to the point that they're appealing to a different audience, if their old audience is no longer interested in seeing their show.
Seriously, why are we wasting time pitying celebrities who used their fame in stupid ways, like going on a slur ridden tirade at for audience
Depends on the history. You never fire somebody on the first offense in a case of using inappropriate language on the job, because you have to account for their personal background - maybe where they grew up that language is totally normal and they really don't get that it's a problem. They have to be given a chance to change their behavior once they're aware that it's not okay. If they do it again, it's a valid violation of workplace standards and totally justifiable to fire them.
Brb getting a job as a greeter to see how lo g it takes to get fired for saying "gas the nigs"
That's ridiculous.
It is ridiculous, but it's also the rules HR organizations go by. What I described was the actual policy when I worked at Microsoft, as told to me by a friend in HR who said she'd had extensive training in handling sexual harassment. I don't know if it would literally be applied if somebody said "gas the nigs" but AFAIK it's the protocol you have to follow in a business to protect yourself from lawyers. Therefore if I were a business owner that's what I would do, because keeping my livelihood and keeping my other employees employed would mean more to me than feeling like an angel of justice or getting upvotes on lemmy.
Honestly yeah, like a podcast script read Reunion would be amazing with a modern script!
