Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ 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.
🧬 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.
📽️ 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!
📋 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.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ 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.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 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
GPrime85

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:

Markdown - Links / Images

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)

And the only reason that Grape's been in his bedroom in the first place is because he kept borrowing her jingley mouse and not returning it

Alright so I started reading Housepets!, and after binging 200+ strips in a single day I think I like it, and my friends on Discord, Telegram and Matrix are getting tired of me sending strips I like so I'm now doing the second best thing, sharing it on the Threadiverse! In case you're wondering yes I also plan to upload the ones I've sent my friends, sorry not sorry :3

Link to Rick Griffin's website

~~ps: In case you're wondering, I wrote the entire alt text by hand and intend to do the same for every other alt text I post. #NeverSlop~~

pps about the og alt: in case you missed the memo Stripe is the ~~cat~~ DEFINITELY NOT A CAT that Spot (superdog) loves

Four-panel comic by rick griffin, dated 28-04-2010.
Peanut and Grape are sitting in Grape's bedroom, talking after a fight due to squabbles with Maxwell over playing pretend.
Specifically they're talking about Peanut's crush on Grape.
Peanut: "Ahahaha! Yes that would be really funny, being completely hypothetical, right?"
Grape: "Peanut, I'm serious! Frankly, you're so bad at hiding it I thought it was just an unspoken assumption between us!"
Peanut: "...How long have you known? Since we visited the farm?"
Grape: "The farm? Oh, no, it was **long** before that"
Peanut: "Then when?"
Grape: "When you started showing an interest in **Cat things** in the first place! I'm the only cat you really **know**, so where else would you pick that up?"
Grape: "But I guess I didn't really give credence to that until I found this photograph under your pillow— since it's Fido and Sabrina colored over in gel pens to **match our fur** and all"
Peanut is looking at said picture, face red as a pepper.

Oh one of my bug bears in furry art, he (i think its a he?) should have the anime blush overlay not have the fur go red.

Love the idea he made like an old style deep fake of the two of them, an artisanal deep fake if you will.

I, for one, will always welcome Housepets related content.

He’s always been such a lover of cats.

Not that I can blame him. Grape is pretty cute.
