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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

A note from the mod on AI-generated comics (lemmy.world)

Hi friends, mod here.

I want to take a moment to address the issue of low-quality AI-generated content that occasionally gets posted in this community.

While /c/comicstrips hasn't had a specific rule about this until now, it's become clear that some AI-generated comics being shared fall well below the standard of quality we aim to maintain. These low-effort posts not only disrupt the overall experience for readers, but they also devalue the hard work of the illustrators and artists who contribute original content here.

Starting today, a new rule is in place:

AI-generated comics are no longer allowed in this community.

Thanks for understanding and helping keep /c/comicstrips a high-quality space for everyone who loves comics.

I can see from the front page that the first comic is a lazy comic using the exact same image 3 times for each panel.

Are you going to remove such low-quality content?

If you think you can do better than Poorly Drawn Lines, let’s see it.

You better not be talking about my beloved PDL

I'd love to hear what about it you think is lazy? The fact the artist only illustrated 1 panel? If so, that's 1 more than any ai-generated comic, and took considerably more thought, skill, and effort.

Are you referring to the post containing a Poorly Drawn Lines comic?

If so, heresy!!

I like their comics. They are simple in style and taste. I can see that may be perceived as low quality by some.

But in relation to the topic of this post, their comic strips are certainly not AI-generated.
