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.

Have you always needed an account for webtoons? One less usable site :(
Just tested it to see if I'm crazy :) you need one to subscribe, but technically you can read comics there without a login
Nope doesnt work, at least not on mobile, even with desktop mode enabled. If you just logged out to test it, then the site might still have remembered your browser and allowed you to view it because of that.
Edit:
Just tested on an actual desktop pc and that worked hmmm
Hrmmmm... I guess they force it on mobile. Well, I've updated the description with the link to the Tapas version in case that helps? We're also on the Inkverse
Cool thanks :)
I read on my phone using Tachij2k
Man, what a shame about the purge before. But then again, many heads take its place (via many repo) so I guess it's a win.
I just tested on mobile too and it seems fine. Chrome Android. Maybe it's something they're rolling out.
Works on my phone
If your comic is rated mature, or if the user is using a known VPN IP address, Webtoons will require a login.
If you use it Mihon (tachiyomi) has a webtoons extension.
There's a subscribe button but i can read it just fine without?
We figured out its a mobile issue.
I'm on mobile. 3rd-party frames blocked, maybe because of this?
Pretty sure you always have, yes. But why does that make it unusable?
Account walled sites are inherently bad because they are counter to the concept of a searchable and open internet. Also makes them very inaccessible to disabled people and kids.
Also, having a bunch of unnecessary accounts greatly increases the chances of a data breach leading to identity theft for people who recycle passwords, which is a lot of people. I only sort of trust my bank and google to have proper security to avoid data breaches. I definitely dont trust every random content site.
Ah, gotcha. Didn't think of that.
