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 think as long as you can keep it at arm’s length and don’t let it permeate your entire process, it can be valuable in triggering things during that ideation and creative process. That’s ultimately how I think tools like this should exist. They should be at your side filling a small percentage of need, with the human artist building something larger from it.
That said, the timeframe for producing things continues to shrink because of unrealistic capitalist demands. So anything that brings a 12-hour process to 1 hour is heralded in as progress by execs, even if it demoralizes the creative team and reduces their personal footprint.
it can also be used just give human made art visual cohesiveness, making multiple images have a unified style.
I like the idea of feeding your art into it to see various styles side by side. Reminds me of the Photoshop editing days.
