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 get that but if we’re talking about creative/“intelligent” people, then there’s a difference between doing advanced VFX work (which is an art form at the end of the day) and manual labor to survive. Isn’t that kind of the whole point? It’s not that carrying wood is wrong, it’s obviously not. But the whole thrust of the comic is they would probably rather be doing something (and we want them to as well) else and would want access to an education because they are the next Einstein. But it’s a little harder case to make when somebody is practicing an artistic craft.
I bet the people working on effects for Black Panther - since marvel was the example - don’t regret their work and wouldn’t liken it to schlepping wood on foot all day to make ends meet while they never get to practice their craft.
