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)

https://grammarist.com/phrase/misery-loves-company/
βMisery loves companyβ is a well-known proverbial phrase we use in the English language. It is usually meant to describe situations where unhappy people want to share their misery with others. Itβs been around for centuries, and we still actively use it today.
This age-old proverb was originally said in the 16th century by the demon Mephastophilis in a play titled βThe Tragical History of Doctor Faustus,β created by Christopher Marlow. The excerpt was in Latin, but it translates to βIt is a comfort to the unfortunate to have had companions in woeβ or, more simply, βmisery loves company.β
But guess what? Marlow actually isnβt the first person to use this Latin phrase. Dominick de Gravina, a 14th-century Italian historian, wrote this Latin phrase in his work, Chronicon de rebus in Apulia gestis.
A position that's been around for a while.
Well, I guess I was warned.
Tbf, it's my fault for being here today
I just feel like if you've seen one comic about a dolphin tearing through someone's asshole and falling in love with a woman only to be cuckolded by her dog, you've seen them all...
I remember when art was creative, unique, and surprising...

Where you at OP. I need to talk to you face to face for this.
Okay....look, we need to go on a date first before that. Lord in heaven.
I just logged on to the damn app for Christ sake.
If you look closely, the dude is still alive and conscious of what is happening.
Then it's all ok becaude he consented!
how do you think he got so aroused?
Credits?
yanked it from imgur so no attribute, but reverse image search found this from Reddit.
I don't hate it.
Well then get the hell out of the way, the rest of us have some hating to do here!
What a terrible day to have eyes.
Wow, this is certainly something
You ahhh.... you got her number?
Bro she got that dawg in her
I hate it when that happens.
WTF
I,...
I mean....
WHAT?
If I lost the game, so will you.
noooo!
What the fuck
There are so many precious details. The look of jealousy on the dog's face as the dolphin-man-kebab and his woman are copulating. The dog-baby nursing. The five-o'clock shadow on the lonely dolphin-man-kebab.
It does look like the work of Molg H. but not sure

this was on the comic from Reddit on a reverse image search.
Some needs to make a scale. How much do you love dogs on a scale from white women to China?
why China?
They eat dogs, allegedly.
Is there any problem with eating dogs? Some people eat cows OMG!
that's a racist stereotype....
Only parts of southern China, and parts of Korea eat dog. (Might be some other regions I'm unaware of. More freaky, and looked down on for it by the rest of China is Guangdong's eating of monkey brains).
It's probably a lot more regions than you're aware of. A professor of mine used to love telling stories about going home during the summer, and his cousins would tell him he had to dig deep in the stew pot, because the puppy (the tender meat) was at the bottom. He would always end it by explaining they didn't raise dogs as pets, but just the same as cows or pigs. He was native american.
pretty sure the monkey brain stuff is just urban legends...
It's hard for me to forget the video with a pile of dogs skinned alive and still moving.
Arguably, racism applies to people, not to countries and their laws.
I can't tell whether you're being downvoted because people don't like the china-dog-eating stereotype, or because this is not the correct answer to "why China?".
