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 love how every time I post this, a similar edit is made
You beat me by 7 minutes :(
But at least my version doesn't have the weird icon in the lower left :)
Fuck fuckity fucking fuck

Just a TikTok watermark in the lower right.
And more jpeg.
Fuck fuckity fucking fuck
Indeed.
Yeah, I just took a phone screenshot off Instagram, which is where he hosts the comic. So it picked up some UI crud. I hate IG, no way to download photos to your phone, among many other flaws.
Got it, on Android it's: /data/data/com.instagram.android/cache/images.stash/clean

If you're on Android and are rooted you can pull it from the apps cache with Root Explorer
Edit: Actually...hm ill brb

Why do you use such an app?
With a ass like that, we can all beat it.
Now give the poor thing a tail, for fucks sake..
The tail is zippered down into the cakes
no I refuse to upvote this, that censorship is stupid.
you're goddamn skippy I'm not
Absolutely cunting right!
I refuse to cave to the newspeak demands of our social media overboards.
Censored posts will not be getting my vote.
And the number one word, the word Bender says more than any other:
^(drumroll)
ASS!
Pimp-mobile.
Big ass censorship.
Good thing that star is there to prevent me from seeing the word “ass”. Don’t know what the fuck I’d’ve done of I’d seen the word “ass”.
Probably woulda dropped your phone on the train.
BIG ASS. There i said it. Nobody came for me. Nobody care. ASS ASS ASS.
Everyone’s focusing on the censoring of the word “ass” but I’m wondering why the squirrel doesn’t have a tail
It got caught once because the sound of the clap of its ass cheeks kept alerting the predators.
I'll do you one better: squirrels don't live in nests.
Sure they do, but they don’t look like bowls like bird nests often do
They do build dreys though.
Obligatory XKCD:
Came here just for this.
The original meme is good too, that squirrel has a big ass.
I did not say it wasn't hilarious! Love the post here!
ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass
Hey OP do posts with swears get taken down? I’ve heard certain instances will block images with swears due to AI filtering.
I don’t think so.
Where have you heard this? Which instances?
The dumb censoring is not just pointless, it is the whole point of the joke!
Not my proudest fap.
I always love coming into the comments on posts like these to see all the lemmings going absolutely FERAL over the fact that a repost has one word that's censored lmao
