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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It is advertising, but it's a good kind of advertising. I'm for advertising in this specific case.
I think "attribution" might be more apropos than "advertising" when it comes to an artist's signature. Of course the presence of an artist's signature will advertise their authorship, but the signature's purpose isn't inherently trying to drive you to a website/patreon/whatever; it's letting you know who put in the effort to make the art.
I think letting us know who made the art is important because it lets Adam afford groceries, and that's okay.
As the other comment says, attribution is not the same as advertisement.
