- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

I disagree strongly.
I recommend adding a encouragement for watermark free comics.
I respect that you hold this opinion, but like, one of my best friends is an illustrator and this kind of stuff hurts his feelings. Hurting his feelings hurts my feeling and i only got one. It's personal to me, you know?
I understand not wanting watermarks on like, a wallpaper community but comics?
Why?
Don't like looking at ads.
My friend, it's not an ad. It's "hey, I did this. This is my work."
The ad is "here is more of my work and this is how much it costs". Do you see that in a watermark or signature? Ads encourage the exchange of money.
You think that giving artists credit for their work is the same as "looking at ads"?
I'm speechless. Truly dumbfounded. There are so many ways to respond, and none of them quite suit the unique situation that's going on in your head.
Lol, this guy.
LOL this dude.
