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.

This is fucking stupid. The artist's details are included in the image OP shared, exactly as the artist left them. You didn't "go find" shit, you googled a couple words from the image. Grow up. Share a link and say thanks for the post.
Not going out of your way to crop the artist's info out is the bare minimum. Friction is everything, if there's a link, there's a way higher chance folks will visit.
Ok, double down on the sanctimony—you wouldn't've seen the comic if OP hadn't shared it.
I'm glad I saw it, but that doesn't mean OP (and others) can't do better.
