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.

I get the sense the artist is throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. (Which I think is pretty bold, but I do also remember a bit of advice years ago which boiled down to "you don't need to share everything you make")
Seems more like satire than a comedy. Maybe OP just hates smoking/smokers
How would it even be satiric? Sardonic, perhaps. Comedic, no.
Those go on pizza
That comment was funnier than this comic and you didn't even have to draw a picture.
It wasn't but now I want a cigarette
I used to smoke.
I still do, but I used to, too.
I used to, and this comic makes me miss it.
3rd panel kid is cool as shit
These comics are unbearably dumb. Please stop.
if you don't like it ignore it, these comics are fun, please continue
You actually like them? Honestly? I don't think you do.
I'll tell you the truth, they are so unfunny and random they don't even look man-made.
there are fine, don't hate them, but we don't gain anything by telling people their art sucks, at best you are being an asshole, at worse you actually hurting someone who is just trying to share their art. don't like it, just ignoring it, if you really really hate it, just block the user and you'll never see them again.
don't you know how it feels to do something and people be unreasonably mean about it?
Let them be, maybe if you have constructive criticism.
I've some constructive criticism for you: it's not necessary to white-knight for every shitty artist on the internet. These comics are objectively crap.
Have no fear, you and OP are about to be blocked.
Oh no, an asshole is blocking me, the horror.
There's a difference between white knighting and giving you constructive criticism, like don't be a cunt.
I've got constructive criticism for you: stop being an asshole.
The comics are fine. Thankfully you're blocking op though so none of us have to see your negative nelly responses like anyone cares.
Seriously. They are the epitome of braindead, surface-level takes with silly faces. This is content that only pre-teens would find deep.
You could just block op and then never have to feel the need to comment on them again. Win win for everyone involved
