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.

MODERATORS
Seriously, social media brand accounts are always a huge turn off regardless how hard they try to be relatable or "funny".
I always imagine, the poor social media person's wage directly depends on how many viral posts they've made. And so they try and they try again, hoping that one day, one of their ~~sterile~~ brand-safe posts will somehow hit a nerve and make it big time.
Unfortunately, that still does not make these forced jokes any funnier.
Is this in response to the BBC going mastadon?
god I remember when big brands first started using memes to relate to their customers. Cringe warning
I was expecting this one from 2004
What an idea, take intentionally bad music and art, then unleash it on people not in on the joke.
The Quiznos ads are modern art.
Those ads really worked well on me 20 years ago haha. So maybe not as stupid as first glance indicates.
Oh. Oh no.
Why were the blue people so unhappy when the fat red people showed up at the swingers party?
Because they are fatphobic.
Call me edgy, but even at the phase between the brands using it and the normal use of the meme there's the period when the meme is overused and kinda obnoxious (like the pickle Rick meme).
Then sometimes the template becomes deep fried or somewhat distorted and it gets funny again ahah
