Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss
GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Right? Shouldn't it be something like JESSICA'S THICC BOOTY 4?

A misunderstanding on the Aliens part, their planet being second from their star is actually Jessica’s swampy taint.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago

JESSICA'S THICK BOOTY b or JESSICA'S THICK BOOTY c probably.

I could see an advanced civilization with lots of habitable planets having a naming convention of star name then planet number. So we'd be Sun-3. Or if we rename the sun to Earth, we'd be Earth-3, called "Earth" for short. In English, our planet name literally means dirt. 😞

Dirt is great. Have you seen the other planets in our system?

Also one of them is called Uranus. Dirt is great.

"An advanced civilization"?

Sure, try typing "Sol-3" and "Sol-3a" into wikipedia.

That's all (?) indoeuropean languages I think

Ideally, you’d organize it like the animal kingdom or something. Very detailed and perhaps giving at least a hint to its location. Then you’d have a colloquial name for it.

I love the cataloging aspect. Maybe official names like those, plus imaginative names from whoever lives on it, or whoever discovered it.

In Japanese, the common word for star, "hoshi" also refers to planets. So, clearly, this comic was translated from Japanese.

That seems like a poor choice on their part

Just writing this for people who'd want to know: hoshi (星) is the daily, common word used to refer to stars and planets. This is the most common word that someone would use to refer to a star. However, for science, more precise terms do exist: wakusei (惑星) for "planets" and kousei (恒星) for "stars".

Exactly, they might be from the “booty” system now, but there’s no need to rename the planet. That would just be confusing.

Ahah, go tell that to all the chinese cultivation manga folks.
