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.

Wait, where's the part where Joe Rogan joins forces with the alien after "doing his own research"?
He wouldn't openly at first, he would have some obscure, unheard-of fringe guest on who believes the man-eating tentacle monsters are actually good for us and we should befriend them because of [insert crank, vague, hand-wavy theory with no real science but lots of big words] and Joe will go "Whoa... that's wild, I never thought about it like that." And then shrug and say "What do I know, I'm just a dumb big ol' guy, you know. Jamie, can we fact check this?" and then they'll move on to talk about celebrity gossip.
Then that person he platformed will go on to sell a million books because of the exposure, then Joe will have him on again because now he's a huge author and they can talk in hushed tones about how important the topic is, and that interview, because of the controversy of Joe giving him more exposure, will get a lot of backlash which will make it appear on the front page of everyone's news feed, giving the author even more exposure until he becomes filthy rich and gets a spot in Trump's cabinet.
I hate it here by the way.
