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.

Same, or have the background colors be consistent
I think
As art, the comic was effective because I spent a lot of time looking at the relatively simple comic
Yeah, the robot one was what really confused me and I had to go back and look at the first two panels again.
Yeah doesn't help that the background on the first panel is inconsistent with the other 3
Yup. It's the robot who wants to be a human. The mirror could have been a bit more clearly drawn. Thicker border maybe (I'm not an artist so...). I otherwise like the strip.
I figured that out on the second go-around, but I just wasn't sure the first time.
Though, this does actually prompt the idea for a different comic where the punchline is that the side you thought was the mirror is actually the real world.
Not sure if I would agree with this. I don't think you should measure how successful art is by how long you spend looking at it. I'm not even sure if it's something you can measure at all since it's so subjective
