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.

Intetesting.
For me skill has nothing to do with it (within reason I guess), it may probably just produce better or worse art.
Impact, that's the same thing, I shouldn't have to care about how others perceive my art, should I?
So I guess for me the intentent is the thing, but it must be that, real intent. If my intent is to express my horrors over heroin dealers, I cant just paint a box in blue and then "explain" myself out of it.
Now if an ex heroin addict paints blue boxes because he lived in blue boxes for years, then that's probably a real expression though and thus art. And I bet he wouldn't feel the need to explain even if he can.
I'm not sure I'm very clear here, but intent it is I think, so hard to prove.
