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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

Wait, why isn't the author's name scrubbed off? We're giving them credit now??? (/s, just in case)
I saw that there was some discussion about this the other day, but this community moves so fast that I didn't catch all the details.
My unsolicited 0.02 is that crediting in the title or body seems reasonable whenever the artist's signature/watermark isn't present.
Yeah it's perfectly fine. And just leaving the signature is too. The discussion is mostly around that one troll actively removing signatures when they exist because "that's an ad".
Ah, that makes sense.
I hadn't read the discussion but saw there was one and had wondered why anyone would want to remove an artist's signature. That's crazy. What a weird world view.
I would only remove when it's one of those cases where the artist is a tremendous piece of shit, but the comic or edited meme is good
I don't think I'd even post the comic of someone I knew to be terrible.
I'm glad it has the name of the comic and the artist visible. I just went to check out some of the comics, they are so cute!
Depending on the situation, sure. If the comic doesn't have a signature in the margins already (like XKCD) then credit in the title/body. If the signature is in the margins, and cropped out, then that's bad form. Comics are often re-shared and the title/body doesn't always come along.
After you remove the signature from the comics, credit is going to quickly get lost as the re-posts happen.
Lower right corner has the signature. This is pre www.
Wow, a comic dated pre World War Wan
They clearly meant What Women Want, the historically successful movie starring Will Smith as a relationship consultant who drives around the wasteland in his V8 Interceptor.
What did Wan do that we went to a World Word with him?
wansmaak en wangedrag
That's numberwang!
Can we reverse the board and play wangernumb?
