Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
I mean, yeah, the expectation being subverted is the bigoted parent assumption, which is overdone, but the joke is still funny. And honestly, the fact that we can look at something like this and Immediately assume that the parent isn't bigoted means that overdoing it is making acceptance the norm in media, at least in spaces like these, which is helpful. The more we depict people being accepting of themselves and their loved ones, the better.
It's pizzacake, she gets hate here no matter what she does. Give it a few hours and you'll need a hazmat suit for this comment section.
Yeah, for some reason there's some real moral outrage required specifically for pizzacake. It's not enough to dislike her comic but it seems like they need to vice signal as well.
Positive messaging is great, that's not really the point. To reiterate: her comics are lazy as fuck.
We can praise the message of the comic while still criticizing it according to the standards of the art form. Maybe if these comics were less successful she would be forced to improve as a comic artist.
Just out of curiosity, what comic isn't lazy to you? Garfield has been around forever and he just eats lasagna and hates Mondays, that has less going on than these comics
Probably unless it's high production like Hollering Elk or something, everything is 'lazy' to them.
Also probably projecting because their stick figure drawings aren't making traction like xkcd does.
Yeah, when did it become necessary for a comic to be more than that? When I was a kid at the library I'd always immediately go to the comics section to see if there was a Garfield book I hadn't read yet - they're great. Comics can have a deep message if the author wants them to, but the idea that they're required to is kinda ridiculous. They're just meant to be something to get a little chuckle out of the reader, like a dumb dad joke or a pun.
I'm glad you asked: Subnormality (Political but actually good), XKCD, Poorly Drawn Lines, Olaf (funny but NSFW), SMBC, Adamtots.
These artists have something to say and can draw (with the exception of xkcd). There are so many examples of quality comics but you people keep upvoting slop. Yes, I am complaining about it because I actually give a shit about the medium.
Couldn't you just, like... read something else though? Clearly these comics have an audience that appreciates them, and you're not in it, and that's okay. Pizza Cake's comics aren't doing any harm to the medium; all those comics you mentioned are still out there for you and everyone else to enjoy, no one is taking that away from you. It's not some great shame to the art of comics for Pizza Cake's content to just exist.
Like, I love reading books, but I'm not a fan of sappy romance novels. But I'd never suggest that people writing sappy romance novels are diminishing the medium; I just ignore them and move on with my life.
Xkcd is the anti-pizzacake. Brilliant, funny, and intelligent comics, with an art style defined by his artistic ability. Pizzacake has a decent art style, but I'm pretty sure she gets all her comic ideas from Reddit.
