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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a Cast Away (2000) reference. Tom >!Hanks!< (Hanks) is stranded on an island and paints a >!volleyball!< (volleyball) that he >!names!< (names) Wilson to be his friend since he's isolated for so >!long!< (long).
Edit: I said Bruce Willis and almost made it an action movie.
Edit: added spoiler tags on some words per request. I wasn't sure which were spoilers.
Edit: spoilers were bugged on someone's client so I wrote the spoilers next to the spoilers. Please understand.
This was before 9/11 when a guy could fuck a volleyball without people thinking he was weird.
Good times
Well, at least you tried not to spoil anything.
The spoiler tags are either invalid, or not rendering here, so I read this like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc1am3KyYgA&t=86s
Yup, that's probably the correct way to read it.
Those were the tags that Sync for Lemmy used, but looks like the browser version expects a different spoiler tag. Very strange.
It's probably ported over from Reddit and a bug. The way Lemmy spoiler tags things is with ::: spoilers :::
Eg.
spoiler
exampleThis comment thread reminds me of the “hunter2” meme. :D
E: adding screenshot taken from Voyager.
This is how it's supposed to look (taken from Summit)
Neither of them worked on Eternity :(
I love the spoiler tag usage here followed by parentheses
Thanks for explaining.
Bruce Willis?
My bad. Would've been awesome though.
This summer: Bruce Willis is busting off this island.
"Looks like all those years of marine biology paid off" as he straps homemade explosives to dolphins for his plans of taking back a cruise ship from pirates.
The spoiler didn't render well in client and I was what were those gibrish words.
Fixed it!
Spoiler tag please.
