      Yeah I should’ve hyphenated cream-filled to maybe break up that consistent gap.

      I would literally doodle these on a notepad, take a photo with my phone, jack up the contrast, then put the text in using my handwriting as a font; all in ~10 minutes with barely any QA. I’ve been meaning to remake/re-draw them, but I know myself and the more work I put into it the less I’d enjoy it.

        It’s totally not a big deal. I think it actually adds something to the comic.

      At least for me the river between the words made me initially read it that way, too

          On Piefed (and I think lemmy?) it doesn’t display the link properly if I don’t have that extra \ (it’s there to cancel out the final parenthesis, so that the markdown knows it’s part of the link)

            Not sure if it is correctly rendered by all clients, but you can try wrapping the links in < and >.

            <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)>

            … becomes

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)

            It is referred to as autolinks in the CommonMark specification.

    The spacing and my lack of glasses had me read it as “The mixed cream cough, for a berry filled drop.”

    Latchkey kids growing up in the 1980s:

    “Want some candy?”

    “Sure”

    tosses them a Vics

    “…What is this?”

    “Cherry.”

      I grew up in the early 2000s and I remember kids my age passing around Vics like candy and even then I never understood it. I understand it even less now as an adult

      Given my lack of self control with sugar and sodium, I’d probably OD on propofol if I had unchecked access to it. I can sleep for eight hours without any noisy neighbor or birds waking me up? What’s the catch?? Except the OD part of course.

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

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. 📽️ 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!
  5. 📋 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/
  6. 📬 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.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.
