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.

Seriously. Her and Hollering Elk were some mainstays on the old place.
Yep. I'm a patron of Elk and it's always disheartening to see them ask everyone to boost it on reddit. I understand it's their best platform, but it'd be nice for other platforms to also be utilized. I mostly just don't see Pizzacake anymore unless I open instagram.
Did you send a patreon message asking about it? Might mean more coming from a dedicated fan.
Oh man, Hollering Elk, that's another I sorely miss. She's fucking epic.
I def wish more artists(like Pizzacake) would join. I check r/comics often on Libreddit and its nice to see them interact and a good way to find new underrated creators.
Why? That's her comic right there? What does that achieve other than bringing her 'other' business here?
In general having more original creators here posting their own work consistently is a good thing if we want to grow the platform.
Showing that it can be good to post here for creators will make more creators want to post here leading to an overall improvement in this community.

If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn't have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don't really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It's nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.
And before people start saying I'm misogynist or something, I'm not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don't like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.
Wow. I’m pleasantly surprised there is someone else here who shares a similar opinion in those comics. There just incredibly cringy. It’s hard to put a fine point on it, but you nailed it.
Low hanging fruit.
Not everything needs to be complicated, but this is lowest common denominator or obvious pandering for likes. It’s borderline embarrassing.
Yes exactly. And to be fair I actually kinda like her art style. It's just that her jokes are so incredibly bland. It's been a while since I saw them regularly, by my recollection is that they're all either "DAE have unhealthy habits?" or "lol wardrobe malfunction amiright?"
Absolutely. Fantastic art. Wet well done. But she needs a writer. BADLY.

I'm right there with you. Actually winced when I saw the name pizzacake just now. Pure garbage.

She didn't post it. This is the first Pizzacake comic I've seen on here since I joined. Were she here I'd follow her and get everything.

Curse seasonal colour analysis and all of its surprising accuracy! I don't want to be a bright spring, I want to be goth!
You live your best life in that blue dress kid and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Great these terrible comics have made their way here, too
I would pay at least a bit to never have to see these again. I’m not even some crazy hater, I just find them super low effort and the loyalty they have to be very very strange.
Same. I’ll admit a few overall have made me nose laugh but most are just “yep, that’s a joke/statement I see online 20 times a week put to picture”. It’s not that I inherently dislike them, but they’re not my cup of tea and I preferred when I could just not see them.
I wouldn’t be near as weirded out if they didn’t get the attention they do! They seem to have rabid fans and of…this? I just don’t get it. Hell, maybe I‘m the crazy one. At this point, I’m willing to entertain this thought

I blocked pizzacake on Reddit because the comics are terrible and now I have to look at them here.
I feel like if you're on a comic strip community you should expect to see various comic strips even from artists you don't like, no? Just block the community or filter the word from titles
no but i want to be madddd
how dare you enjoy and spread this thing that i dont follow >:((((((
entire day. ruined. i downvoted your comment to let you know how much i dont care.

It displays it on all and I don't mind seeing comics just not this creator because of how toxic she is.

I guess I'm fine with pizzacake's awful zero-punchline comics being here on Lemmy, I just hope her stupid cult doesn't follow and this community doesn't turn into some pizzacake safe fan space where you literally aren't allowed to say anything that isn't directly kissing her ass, like /r/comics.
It would get boring if we get comments like this (i.e. that say nothing about the particular comic posted) underneath every comic though :/
I'm talking about the creator, relevant, and specifically referring to this particular comic (as well as their others) as awful and without a punchline, so that doesn't feel like nothing about the topic to me.
Negativity is a valid opinion and negativity isn't the same as incivility (and thus shouldn't be prohibited)

Mum is right about the colour, but we need more long dresses in the world, we really do.
Uhhh what is going on in the comments? Who is Pizzacakecomic? And why almost everyone here hate them?
Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.
As for why she is disliked, there's a few reasons.
The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn't actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.
Another is that she won't stop talking about how people who don't like her are sexist. She's made multiple comics about how her critics don't read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.
Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don't like one the comics... You probably won't like any of them... They're all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one... You'll probably like them all.
As for my own opinion, I don't really care one way or the other. She's fine. I've heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven't seen any proof myself so I can't confirm or deny any of those.
The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.
Sexism is so rampant on Reddit that saying "I'm a woman" and getting bombarded by creeps and freaks is trivial. Less a commentary on her, specifically, and more on the degenerate nature of the community.
She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.
She's producing liberal political comics, and she's a woman, so the chuds will be out in full force screaming at her.
At a certain point, though, its just...
She’s fine.
She's very clearly low effort. The art is flat, the comedy is mid, the political edginess is ten years out of date.
I wonder if Netflix will be signing her any time soon.

I don't know anything about this Pizzacake person, but I don't think this specific comic is any worse than the average newspaper gag strip, except they wouldn't tackle a subject like this. It didn't make me laugh, but I also wouldn't call it awful. I'd definitely read this over literally any Dilbert strip ever.

What's dark autumn anyway
I think it means the natural colors of your body (skin, hair, eyes) are best complemented by "dark autumn" colors, so dark reds/oranges.
