A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.

Hey folks! NPCs has blown up since it got started just 3 days ago. There's obviously a large desire for the sort of content I've been posting, and people are loving it. (Discussions about what constitutes politics notwithstanding).

I've got a problem, however! And it's one I hope you can help me with. It takes a lot of time and effort to be the main content supplier for the comm, and it's not sustainable for me. So, I'm asking for volunteers to help out with just 2-3 minutes of your time daily.

What I have in mind: A group of people (ideally, about 20 or so) who can commit 2-3 minutes daily to finding a comic they like and share it to the community.

That's it! Just read a comic or two, find one that suits this community, and post it here for us to enjoy. I'm not asking for mods at the moment, so don't worry about that.

FAQ:

  • What if I can't do it every day, or miss a day? I'm not going to hold you to it! We'll do this on a best effort basis, if you can't make it nobody's going to criticise you for it. Even 1 post a week is appreciated.
  • Can I post more than one? Sure! But consistency is more important than quantity.
  • What constitutes 'politics'?
    Sigh. We'll probably work out a formal definition at some point, but for now you probably have a good idea of my definition just from browsing the comm.

If you'd like to help out, just comment below!

I won't commit to posting, but I always save my favorite comics and I've been dumping them here, so if you want a quick source of comics from dozens of artists, check this out: https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/comicdump

ps: if you open the image in new tab, the name will show date it was originally published (if I was able to find it)

Right? What the heck. XD

You could get the mod for oglaf to have their bot post here. Very few of those comics are political…but there are other issues you might have with them lol

I'm fine with NSFW content. I'm not sure about the idea of having daily feeds of comics that are already being posted elsewhere at the same time - would welcome thoughts on it.

My 2c - isn't it a bit weird / spammy?

[–] irishPotato@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I think it’s a tad unnecessary. I dislike serving repeats on the feed.

I myself dislike seeing the same thing posted repeatedly to different comms, but that's really a product of my 9wn browsing habits, and the fact that I'm too lazy to try out one of the clients that aggregates cross-posts. I'm not sure how the "official cross-post" function on Lemmy works, that triggers posts to be specifically listed as "cross-posted from XXX", but I think that's the best way to go about it.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Totally understand that! Was just a suggestion

[–] Dupelet@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] m_f@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I'd be fine with crossposting here, if that's not seen as spammy or anything

I STILL have it. :)

Paul Verhooven's satire of Heinlein's openly-xenophobic novel is highly political.

[–] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Trying to find any major piece of media that is completely apolitical is virtually impossible. The point of this channel isn't to nitpick whether or not some specific work is political; it's to have funnies that aren't related to current affairs.

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just think it's funny that op can post uncle sam and still pretend this comm is in any way apolitical. XD

[–] Ifera@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You just think it is funny to be contratan, when you're not even posting or collaborating with the community.

Cheers, I guess.

I'd personally argue that using that meme without a level of political irony makes you an idiot, but that's just my correct opinion.
