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.

I like c/comicstrips but I wish there was a way to exclude certain artists whose sense of humour is incompatible with mine.
I never want to see this artist nor cyanide and happiness ever again, if I can help it.
Maybe this community can start putting the artist/source in the post title. Unless that becomes a rule I doubt that would happen though.
What don't you like about C&H?
It's a comedy strip, and humour is extremely subjective. What works for one person won't work for someone else.
I see it as intentionally being a "bad taste" comic by design, and as someone who never enjoyed Happy Tree Friends or other franchises which use violence, sex or toilet humour as cornerstones, it's already on an uphill battle as far as my tastes are concerned.
Of course, dark humour and "bad taste" have been important parts of human comedy since forever, and I don't mind them when it serves a purpose. But Cyanide and Happiness seems to exist purely on bad taste, as if bad taste is entertaining in it's own right.
To me it feels completely insubstantial, and so for me it's a pass.
C&H had some hits years ago but yeah it does seem like they have to keep jumping the shark to stay relevant and itβs a miss so so so often.
That said Iβd take 10 bad C&H over another bluejayoo
