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

MODERATORS
For anyone wondering - comic strips don't need to be witty or poignant to send a message, they can just state the message directly in the panel
Political cartoons would be so much better if they did that instead of looking visually cluttered with all the forced metaphors being drawn into the scene. I swear, some of those things are like puzzles. You miss one or two small pieces of context and suddenly the whole cartoon makes 0 sense.
I hear you, but I do like it when the artists at least makes some effort at satire. The above comic reads more like a motivational poster than something making a point.
I keep looking at the last panel expecting the shoe to drop, but am left deeply unsatisfied, even though it's a message I agree with
I am pretty sure the point is that it's okay to show emotions as a man.
I know, I guess I was just expecting something a bit more. Right now I feel preached to about something I already agree with.
I don't feel I learned anything, and I wonder if the desired audience will actually see this
