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)

I’d say it has great potential as a meme template

Ugh, I hate these. It makes me think: you cut corners on your flyer, something everyone sees, so what kinda corners do you cut where it’s hidden from your clients??

Malaysia is about to release it’s first AI generated film for cinema viewing.

If yet another AI bro tells me this is good…

They’re all over Facebook. I don’t know why people do it, it makes them look like scam companies that don’t exist. All with that same horrific dead smiling AI face.

At least they’re openly advertising that they’re not worth visiting. Before, you went to events like these and got immediately disappointed, now you can tell from afar. Also applies to other businesses, like restaurants.

Dude. Or when an actual musician advertises with ai art? Like, bro, you could have just used sharpie on lined paper and it would have been better. There’s one like that that has signs up near where I live and every time I see it I’m just like BRUH. And then a few weeks ago at a public event I SAW THE MUSICIAN PLAYING, NEXT TO THEIR SIGN! I felt so bad for how stupid they were. Everybody avoided them like they were covered in shit. It was bad.

My last job was small, like 4 people small. The owner loved Ai. She would use it for everything. One day i decided to redo one of her menus. Im not a graphic artist. I have no training in it at all, but i jumped on Gimp and made a prototype. She loved it and raved at how much better it was than hers. Imagine if i was an actual graphic designer…
