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.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Probably should remove the "joke by" part at the bottom if it's being modified, though.

I considered it but:

I think its safer to leave attribution in general.
Is "the joke" the setup, the punchline, or both?

Since that person came up with the setup, i think an editor changing the punchline isnt necessarily making a new joke, they'd just be a third contributor.

Opinions vary though, sure. As a software dev, I dream of a world where everything is version controlled and no one's contributions are undocumented or underplayed.
