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 was blocked from r/comics for saying that I didn’t like Pizzacake’s stuff. So I get what you’re saying.
I didn't take much issue with Pizzacake until their comics became this weird circlejerk about people who didn't like them. There was no joke just "Oooh I made another one! Look how much I don't care about the haters! They're sooo upset!" Each complete with a strawperson getting super triggered that they would continue making comics.
I get it, you put time and effort into making a comic and it's frustrating to see people who don't like them. Let off steam with maybe just one comic. But after seeing multiple of the same exact thing I was really done seeing that kind of rage bait in my feed.
The entire thing was screaming “look at me! I’m quirky and weird! Isn’t it cute!”
And no, it’s not cute. It’s cringy as fuck.
Making your comic about yourself is automatically lame.
