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.

MODERATORS
It's usually other companies wanting you to buy their shit, not the site that the ads are shown on. That site "makes its living" by selling ad-space to these other companies.
I dislike ads just as much as the next person but I feel like this representation is disingenuine.
This is fair
However, it's up to the site how they choose to display ads, and UI/UX. If the content pane is like 1/4 the size of my screen, we're gonna have problems
If the screen had shouted "Buy this shit!" Would it have hit different? I had the same thought. I've seen a few sites that advertise their own wares and they are sketchy. I think the issue is that the site is still in charge of how much advertising they show. Usually, they're showing unrelated ads, but they're showing a lot of them.
I dislike ads just as much as the next person, and I'm just curious if I understand you properly.
