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.

There's always the method used for held lyrics under the staves on sheet music; namely: expand the repeats with hyphens (or en or em dashes if you're feeling fancy / like an AI).
You can still incorporate this odd / even rule too: No -> No - o - o; Moon -> Moo - oo - oon
There might need to be extra hyphens before and after surrounding consonants according to taste. I haven't pinned down my own preference yet.
At a push, there need be no repeats of any letters and the whole extension is done with hyphens or dashes and long spaces: e.g. Spoon -> Sp — — o — — o — — n.
Subtitler @mcqtom@lemmy.world elsewhere in the comments might like to experiment with this method too.
I'll tell ya one thing, I absolutely hate that rendering of the word spoon. That, I will certainly not be experimenting with.
