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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not OP but in theory it shouldn't do, at least not for comics like this.
Parody is considered fair use under US copyright law.
Sure parody is a defence to copyright infringement. At the end of the day, it's not my job to say it's protected by parody. That's your job as the Defendant. I only have to prove that you infringed onto my copyrights.
Even if it is clear parody, I can quietly withdraw or settle my claim against you to prevent others from even thinking about it. It's why SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) legislation has to exist.
All true, hence I say in theory.
