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.

MODERATORS
I wonder if other hand based clothing items are ok. White gloves clearly aren't but what about different colored gloves? What about gauntlets? Inquiring minds want to know how far we can push this before legally we're in the wrong.
As long as it's parody like this comic, then you can do pretty much whatever you want. Like how Family Guy can reference 200 random things per episode. It's only becomes illegal when it's serious in nature, like fan made Star Trek stuff. Because it too closely resembles the actual show. If they could monetize stuff like that, they could theoretically become a Star Trek competitor.
Copyright law only really holds major rights holders accountable to each other. It doesn't matter if you're 100% in the right, if you piss off a rights holder enough they will crush you.
