Trees evolved 400 million years ago, and that should be enough time for them to have figured out if their faces are on their trunks or are made out of their leaves.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
Since when is it okay to just go around commenting on people's faces and where they "should" and "shouldn't" be!?
Yeah, some people suffer from debilitating facial-location deformaties, it's no joking matter.
I know how they vote
400 million years ago.
Maybe it's like an anime thing, where you can see their face through their "hair".
I read somewhere it was millions of years after trees evolved that anything evolved to decompose their bark.
So for millions of years the dead trees just stacked up.
So for millions of years the dead trees just stacked up.
And now we have oil. Glorious oil.
THANKS, DEAD TREES!
Millions of years of occasional massive fire storms
Earth millions of years ago: Damn. I got too many fallen trees. I should eradicate them.
Earth today: Damn. I got too many humans polluting me. I should eradicate them.
CEOs today: Yeah, the global tempatures are rising. Yeah it's causing food shortages. Tell ya what. Lets build data centers and cause water shortages too!
Guys. I'm on Earth's side. Eradicate the humans. We had our chance. See you guys in hell! Or Arizona. They'll be the same tempature in 5 years.
Most humans are not the issue. The issue are the CEOs and the people in charge and a corrupt systems keeping them in power. They're as much a threat to earth as they are to other human beings.
Which one of them? There's lot's of also-trees, actually-trees and not-really-trees.
I chuckled, but to be a proper reversal shouldn't they be building it around him or someone like him?
was thinking the same thing, the human bones fits, but would be being hammered into a live human.
I thought it was a bunny.
That tree is throwing some serious shade.
Buni is amazing! loved its comics.
Does this mean that somewhere is a tree pro-wrestler that carries a flag of the forest, and a random human leg bone, yelling HOOOOOOOO, while everyone else wonders if that tree is mentally disabled?
How is he nailing the bones? They're all long bones at right angles with only one point of contact on the upper structure. This is clearly a job for different attachment technology.
