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.

Is there a better term for a paneled, storytelling, drawn art?
Does this piece of shit really count as "storytelling"?
Yes.
There is an story that is being told, with events and a plot and characters, regardless of how brief it is. Your opinion on whether it's a good story or not doesn't matter.
Also why the sudden hostility? You alright dude?
Just realizing exactly what I miss most about Reddit.
Low effort or low quality content would get filtered out by getting down voted to hell or by being ground into obscurity by the new content coming in.
On Lemmy it stays on the front page for days, but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that the users are ready to fawn over a low effort, pointless piece of media just because it features gender identity. The user base here is so entrenched in its views and so incredibly, ridiculously biased that anything gets a pass as long as it checks the right box and features a pet issue.
If this comic featured a hetero couple it would rightly die in obscurity. Throw in some representation and Lemmy laps it up like mother's milk. That kind of gullibility keeps the content quality nice and low here. Subpar stories, videos, comics, memes, and any other kind of post fly on Lemmy as long as they feature trans people, support non-capitalist systems, or paint Israel in a bad light.
The problem with Lemmy is the users and their tolerance for low quality content. I'm actively looking for a non-reddit content aggregator, but until I find one I'm not going to put up with low quality content just because it checks the appropriate social issues box and I'm going to call out people who let shit fly just because it agrees with their agenda.
