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.

Not shown: Jupiter occasionally tearing one apart and strewing its innards all around or abducting random passerbys and eating them.
It's okay, must of their kids are adopted anyway.
If I'm not mistaken, Luna is the only moon of same stone and lava as it's parent planet. Charon, too, maybe?
The verdict is still out on the formation of Earth's only natural satellite, the Moon. But yes, it may be mostly composed of ejecta from Earth after it collided and merged with another protoplanet.
Read what you write.
Ever heard of black humor? Their comment is intentionally heavy to create a clash in the reader's expectations.
I was going to say, just like the god it's named after, but I guess it was Saturn who ate babies.
Who amongst us haven't snacked on some infant from time to time? Amirite, fellow atheists?
I'd expect that more from Catholics. They do the whole "body of Christ," thing
I had a good reply to this comment, but an anonymous mod deleted it for being "adult content/inappropriate".
Apparently it's fine to joke about literally consuming the flesh of infants, but alluding in a lighthearted and completely SFW way to the fact that the catholic church is amongst other things a factory that produces pedophiles is verboten 🤦

yea that tracks, lemmy.world mods are ridiculous
I managed to read that before it was removed. No sense of humor
...the mod, right? 😁
Of course. Lol.
They're not actually violating "free speech,' it just feels like it, cause we're used to having to deal with massive corporations, doing a fairly effective job at trying to control everything, especially the free flow of information.
Bit of a shame really. I'm pretty certain that most of our users would support the right to free speech, but I also suspect that most, like me, don't want to have to host their own instance so that rogue mods can't run roughshod over our ability to communicate
The corporate memphis version is somehow more disturbing than the original.
The cooperations consuming the working class...
