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.

Yes, and feed yourself via photosynthesis. It's that easy you lazy artist. Now entertain me!
I said for other people's praise, not their money!
There’s a very common pattern of “I’m going to focus more on my own life” you get from creators as they realize this.
The financial equation of having talent and using it for free stuff for people on the internet is not a stable one. Even when you decide your reward is attention, the mental toll ends up outweighing that meager reward.
Who hurt you? No one was talking about people doing this shit for a living or for the entertainment of anyone but themselves.
Holzkohlen was talking about people doing that shit for a living. So what are you on about?
If you don't want to talk about it then don't participate in the conversation.
