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.

The Greek gods were frequently described as being like this. They were some combination of angry, stupid and conceited a lot of the time. Petulant children, just like the humans who worshipped them.
The only difference is that you might get away with calling a fellow human angry, stupid or conceited. Those very qualities in the gods made that much less likely if you did it to them.
There's a neat link with satire and human leaders if you squint a bit. I mean it isn't that long since they were declaring themselves gods. And a few still claim their right under the name of some god or another.
