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.

I have nothing against ads in principle. Anyone who offers a service such as a useful website should of course be rewarded for it.
What I am against is intrusiveness and tracking. If advertising were just simple locally served banners in the sidebars of the website without any tracking, as it used to be, I would have no problem with it.
Exactly. To let advertisers intrude on your brain for what you get in exchange is usually an unfair bargain. People really undervalue their attention and time.
I have crippling ADHD and I am constantly amazed at how little people value their attention. Just baffled watching folks melt their brains on things like TikTok.
It's like watching a teenager buying drugs. Just... you don't know what consequences this could bring you.
