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

Rules

  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

  2. 🏘️ 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.

  3. 🧬 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.

  4. πŸ“½οΈ 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!

  5. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/

  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.

  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ 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.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. 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:

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 then the only countries involved are Mexico, USA and Canada. Then Mexico beats the US, as is tradition.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But the final is in the US so they can just deny the visas

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In that case, Mexico and Canada can have their own final, and Mexico can win, as is tradition.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Ah yes. Their own final. With blackjack and hookers

Much easier to do in countries that aren't the US.

The fact that so much of the Trump family is tied to gambling websites does make this extremely likely.

I always feel that's the final rip-off. We've all been watching it unfold, the dismantling of the USA for ego and corporate power and money, but literally gambling it away...

OTOH it's not the first time we all thought "it can't possibly get any worse than that" - and then it did.

In the final stage Trump will sell off parts of the US to Canada. All it will be left is the Bible belt which nobody else wants. Trump will be fine with that as he gets to keep his golf course, which is all he really cares about.

I could imagine that Putin would want Alaska back in the Final Auction

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like a north Korean tactic

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

I love how readable the font is in this image!!! :-)

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

Since the World Cup is only like a 26 mile race, I hereby enter my genitals and I expect formative outcomes in the name of some fucker

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It makes so much sense!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The only way the US would win at football is if their opponent was just random members of the crowd all of which were American and none of which knew the rules of football.

Except that would be boring to watch because there would be barely any detectable difference in skill level.
