Comic Strips@lemmy.world

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!

Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.

🏘️ 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.

🧬 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.

📽️ 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!

📋 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.,
✅ Correct: xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: xkcd.com

📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.

🏴‍☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]

🍿 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

GPrime85

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)

My online characters in the Jedi Knight series were always named “Darth Cestuous”. I feel seen.

Darth conceivable

I’m gonna be that guy and point out that Vader means father in dutch. His name was always a spoiler. I’m trying to think of how you would inMaul someone but all I can think is ‘I’m gonna inmaul you mom later’

Via “The Making of The Empire Strikes Back.”

Lucas has gone back and forth on this one in interviews, but the honest truth seems to be that he wanted dark/death + “invader.” Somewhere there’s a video of him admitting he had no idea about the translation of the name until well after it was chosen (sorry, I looked and couldn’t locate the clip in a timely manner).

bitjunkie@lemmy.world a month ago

couldn’t locate a clip

Maybe he released the interview as a special edition

CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world a month ago

Yeah I’m not surprised. I’m always, like, in a state of suspension of disbelief when it comes to hearing about Lucas insane cenceptualizations, like hearing he suvvested names like ‘Darth insaneous’ or ‘Darth icky’ at points. When I heard the Vader/Father explaination I was like “this is both on the nose enough and also too cleaver to be true”

VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world a month ago

The Vader=Anakin thing was a retcon introduced when writing Empire. Early drafts explicitly have the two as different characters. Vader being the Dutch word for father is just a remarkable coincidence.

CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world a month ago

See my other response to the other reply for more but yeah, I can see that. The general mythology behind how Star Wars was made is a series of ‘too good to be true’ coincidences and interruptions.
